[Q] ANT - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what we can do with ant ? ant technology is included on our phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket&hl=en

For medical studies...and stuff...:silly:
But XDA ROMs are not ANT enabled, though. Most devs here don't have those kind of devices, so they can't test.

The training gear in sports, have a thing like a remote device strapped to your chest, which monitors the heart rate/bits per min.
That is using ANT+ technology . Also some other (like Nike) have one in the shoes.
With ANT you can connect to any device of that kind in a fittness gym, monitor, etc (some software to monitor and graph all your phisical activities),
Cheers,

oh,, it means useless :-?

Well, you need the devices and the software (which we don't have in our ROMs). So...

Really not such a big deal. A watch with ANT and chest-strap included can be around 15-20 euro. (a cheap one).
A lot of apk from market, free.
So, is really nothing, if you need it.

I think the apk is not enough. The phone must be ANT enabled, like it says in the app's market page.

There is also an apk. for ANT enabling. which runs in the background.

Wow, I though the ant thing was old, as I heard about it back last year, maybe even further back in time.....
Anyway, I do believe there is a app that enables it.

HTC Touch HD2 Digital Compass on x1???

Im just user, dont know much about cooking and stuff, but i would like to see something like this on x1. Is it even possible?
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/10/01/htc-touch-hd2-digital-compass.html
Sure ...but just as a dummy application...
I can't wait for the cooks to put X2's accelerometer in a X1 ROM. That would be awesome .

Hey it could use top camera for detecting light direction .. and by knowing time .. voila, here is the north !
A dummy application could also fake reaction on turning based on lower camera image.
A compass function can be simulated with the GPS built into the X1. I use CoPilot Live 8 and it senses direction when I am moving (it even has an onscreen compass). Of course, standing still, it has no way of knowing what direction you're pointing so it's no replacement for a real compass.
Not the X1's magic compass again...

OK, haha, don't forget about the hidden 128MB of graphics memory giving X1 a total of 384MB. That was a popular myth at X1's release.
Not sure if the OP was supposing to get a hardware feature by adding software though. With standard GPS, a compass function can be simulated mathematically (when the device is moving). I use it on a regular basis in CoPilot Live. I assumed the OP was more advanced than to think that true compass functionality was purely a function of software.

ROFL .
Dude 1 - Hey dude you wanna go to the game?
Dude 2 - Naaah i can't my man, ma phone won' t last that long.
D1 - The stadium is one block away, you can charge your device there.
D2 - Yeah, but my current record is reaching the apartment door...
I personally really like the FM Transmitter from the early reviews.
But ya, when I use iGo8 it has a Compass function that I use fairly regularly and its accurate - but as the previous poster said, only when moving.

Disable Camera App or Mod

While I have no idea why one would want this, you could root your device, install titanium (donate for full of course). Then, in titanium, you should be able to freeze the camera app.
The other way, that I just tried, is install tasker (which is pretty much one of the best apps ever made for anything ever), and set a task up that runs when the camera app is launched that kills the camera task. That way, if the camera app is touched, it immediately kills the process.
Could be for work reasons.
For Work Reasons
Its for work reasons. I will not dismantle this phone to remove the camera..
I'd rather just have it disabled.

I'd think they'd almost make you disable it hardware wise, if you just did a software disable you could easily enable it again when you get through security. Or are they a little "slow"? I know the security guard at my companies front door could get his ass kicked by my grandma lol.

Merely disabling the camera through software or a mod means you could easily re-enable it and this would still present a security risk. Hopefully your employer doesn't think like I do.
Well I was looking for more like an IT POLICY deal
I agree.
I wouldn't run the risk of having a tech savvy security guard checking out my phone and being able to re-enable the phones camera. I was thinking of an application more along the lines of an IT POLICY. With our Blackberry devices the IT POLICY disabled the camera's functionality.
From the sounds of it, I may need to just have the camera module professionally removed or take a shot at it myself. Anyone have a link to the procedures for dismantling the Captivate?

If you MUST have this phone for work, then I understand. But if you don't, I wouldn't destroy the phone. Pick up a piece-of-crap unlocked t-mobile or AT&T phone from 5 years ago that you can mess with. Just bring that into work.
Don't destroy this phone. Everytime a captivate falls, a kitten is eaten.

Zedge

You guys seen their new website? Much, much better! I actually like how it looks now. Check it out.
For those who don't know, not that there's many who don't, it's a site where you can get ringtones/wallpapers/etc. for your phone 100% free, no catch, no bs.
www.zedge.com
Can you tell me what is the point of visiting their website? If I want to download a wallpaper or ringtone, I'll just use their app, why care about what their website looks like?
Because there might be people that rather have a bookmarked site over an app
What do you mean? I still don't see the point of bookmarking or visiting their site.

is easier if you install their App from Market
then you can pick sounds / wallpapers directly from it, and sets it into the system settings
Yeah for sure the app is a really handy one. Use it all the time when i get bored, and there are no new roms to try out.

Completely agree, thanks for the post. I would much rather use my laptop to find what I want to download before I spend 2 hours searching the mobile app for it. Not all of us have blazing fast 4g!
I had a look at their website, you guys are right. It is much easier to browse through the website, however one thing I find strange, how come on their website they don't separate ringtone from notification sound?

I'd imagine because on most phones it doesnt matter. I remember back when I had my Moto E816 I could only use certain file types for a ringtone/notification/alarm/etc., now you can use pretty much whatever you want.

They should add a remote install feature to the website, obviously requiring you to have the Zedge app installed on your phone. That would make it really worthwhile using the site over the app.
I do agree that the site is better for browsing, but the app sets things for you. We want the best of both worlds.

You mean something like the Market where you pick something you want to d/l and instead of downloading on your pc it automatically d/l's to your phone? That would be sweet!

Gear Manager Flash or mod

After having the Gear Manager update and trash my watch again it had me thinking about not just the watch but the actual phone controller, I started wondering if anyone had thought about modifying the Manager? could do some interesting things perhaps?

The problem is if the user isnt using my rom, I dont know if it will repair.. the stock bluetooth settings are very limited as I'm sure your aware.
It wipes so the hand shake between the gear and the phone is remade I believe.
I think thats why Samsung wipes upon gear manager updates, also the gear is intended to be connected to one phone & one phone only.

One thing I did until about 3am last night was install all the developer software including Cygwin and had a play..... have I got the time to develop my skills in this area? well no and I am starting to realize this lol but if I decide to in a crazy moment ......
I also have come to the conclusion a smart watch is just that, I will never surf the net on my watch when I have a very good S4 to do that, I will be watching what develops next year and hope there will be an S5 and a Gear 2 bundle :cyclops:
No doubt when I go back to the Pilbara next year I will be stuck out onsite when they are released, I see comments out in the wild about what people expect from their smart watch like not needing to be tethered or to have WIFI but all this means there will be an increase in size or shorter battery time, the camera even is a little limited and I dont use it much as you get strange looks, out Glasshouse mountians couple of weeks ago and it sure looked like I was Creepin lol but I wasnt of course

Try going around with google glass and winking at stuff...
I think the one watch one phone thing is key to decision to wipe. But also when you update gear manager, it removes apps on phone and then reinstalls

[Q] Best way to create a bounty or ask a dev to help get an app working on lolipop?

Might sound silly but one of my favorite Android games (Jet Set Radio) was never updated to run on lollipop. Sega has instead just pulled the app from the market. The game starts to load but soon crashes. Without knowing anything about development i have a feeling the problem is probably not a serious one and a talented developer maybe able to get the .apk working again

That. ^^^
Also, just don't. Don't start bounties, don't create pressure on a developer to do anything. If you want to see what is what, send them an email offering to pay them directly.
Also, if the program/game was popular and they pulled it, then it was probably more than trivial changes needed to make it work again.

Sega is just a terrible Mobile company. They recently pulled many titles some of which still work even without updates on lolipop.
I heard the Company as a whole is focusing more on mobile but with moves like this how? Unless they will rely on the strength of a few key titles (like SonicRush) and say screw the rest
