Heard about multiscreen? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Anyone hear about that feature rockchip is putting out? I was looking through the nexus 7 thread and saw someone mention it. Basicly its identical to the Samsung version but works in a different way that allows every app to work as long as the app was built properly. Kinda hoping that comes around to every android device since we all have high resolution and PPI screens. Here's the thread I got the info from which features a YouTube video demonstrating it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375316

[Q] voice call recorder - is there an app for that???

I'm looking for an application which will allow me to record voice calls (input and output).
I'm using samsung galaxy S with 2.2 Froyo.
Tried to look for one in here, but didn't find one that would fit my phone.
I even googled it, and didn't find anything appropriate.
If someone has some app that is confirmed as working - plz post the name/apk.
PLZ HLP!
Thanx!
Search 'record call' on appbrain. Quite some results.
Nothing working yet to my knowledge (for our phone that is)...
I dont know if we have hardware for it. But theres claims from ppl who say theres software on the korean sgs. But u got to rem that phone is totally dif as no ones have been able to flash any roms on it yet. Closest thing i can think of is use speaker mode and any recording app

From the link you gave here, I understand this is a well known issue.
So are you saying there is still no solution for that???
(I had this option on my oldest nokia 6680 I think not to mention 6120).
Wow... that kinda' sucks.

I looked into this some time ago. Some android phones will allow you to record both sides of the call. It would seem that with most android phones, you can only record your side of the conversation. It may be a bug in Android since there is apparently the functionality that allows recording calls. On the other hand, it could also be a hardware issue where the incoming voice stream is not accessible to the OS, so there is no way to record it unless you use an external recording device. The Hero for example use the Qualcomm MSM 7200A which has the baseband chip integrated into the main application processor. The Galaxy S has a separate baseband chip. Depending on how the incoming voice stream is handled on the hardware level, it is possible that android OS has no direct access to the voice stream since that is handled by the baseband cpu.
Anyways, after spending a few hours reading up on this topic, voice recording is possible on some android handsets, and not others. I was using the nexus one when I was looking into this (interestingly, the nexus one snapdragon has an integrated baseband like the Hero). Most solutions meant using the phone in speakerphone to record both sides of the conversation which is not a great solution in my opinion.
That's the extent of my research. It's something that would be useful to me, but not something that I have a strong need for. If anyone has a working solution for the Galaxy S, please share!

HDMI Out / Dock

Does anyone know if the dock support mirroring now that we're on honeycomb? I know it didn't prior to the upgrade. I'd love to know. If not, what does it support, and would it be possible for any developer to write a video driver that would at least allow switching to hdmi (I have a broken screen, but still use my streak a lot with bluetooth keyboard/mouse).
51 views and no replies? Does anyone have the HDMI dock? It appears that the net has not 1 single review of the HDMI dock after the recent OS upgrade.
HDMI Works
Definitely works. Game emulators look awsome at 46inches.

I'm using honeystreak r8 and just got a dock and get nothing? It charges and triggers "dock mode" my monitor has input sense & see something at the end of the cable (tried 2 different ones does this need a "data hdmi"?) but no hdmi from any app (stage. cam. various vid players, no dell sync) no usb, not even a failed usb install, any ideas on how to fix this?
I am running the same (r8). My docks hdmi works fine. Perhaps trying another TV or monitor will work. I use 2 different tv's and cables and I have not had that issue.

Looks like the connection to the dock was/is iffy I assumed the "doink" meant it was good to go, but then noticed it was "connected" but not charging.I've been testing with a video from the camera choosing "video" as the player but don't get any hdmi popup (should I) and I can tell it's getting something cause the resolution changes on the tv but no vid?
It just connects, there is no toast message or such.

Dude.... this device never had source code released and the strives that have been made in development are incredible considering the low number of knowledgeable people doing all the work from scratch.
I suggest you go buy a newer device with a wider range of development. Otherwise try to contribute to the streak development rather than complain that you can't find a perfect fit for your needs.
Stick withhoneycomb if you can't cope with certain variables and bugs. My dock worked on honeycomb for charging and hdmi output.
I don't mean to sound like a dyck, but you don't realize how you sound expecting everything to work perfectly and I have been following the progress of the development and offering help where I can from using and providing user feedback. It's not like I have made any type of major contribution, but I know the geniuses toiling over code for hours on end to resolve issues and bugs and sharing their work for the benefit of us don't appreciate comments that come across as whining or being ungrateful.... just try to hear yourself, my 2 cents
Giveens work can be found here and on tabletroms.com
Good luck

Dude, relax
You say you are running honeystreak, which has been dead for quite a while and had its set of quirks. It is a custom ROM. You are wanting everything to work? = you want stock!!!
Go rock honeycomb. You own a device that officially lost support from the manufacturer in 2011. End of story.
You could even go back to froyo and have a "fully functioning ROM". Read some stuff, then read more. And start off with the XDA rules... learn the appropriate place to ask your question (this thread is not relevant to development and/or particular to an actively developed ROM)

Your Best Features of Android/Nexus?

What do you think are the best features that your nexus 4 is capable off.
Personally I think the fact you can use it as a gaming console (ps3 controller and hdmi output) is a fantastic feature of the phone.
Also the fact I can use it as a tablet type device by reading pdfs (essential for work) and as a media centre with the music and films.
What are your favourite features of this phone and of android in general?
This could be a useful thread for people to learn about things they weren't aware of . So what aspects do you enjoy the most?

The communities these devices generate.. All the way back from lurking SDX Developers to present day to being a heavy poster on XDA.. I've enjoyed every minute I lurk and post on these boards. You meet some interesting folks, you have some great laughs, some not so great arguments, and more importantly constantly learning... If you're willing to listen.. There is always someone around here willing to help another person out.. All you gotta do is ask.. And if you get bored.. You can pick any thread in the development section, start from page one and just read.. You're bound to learn something new..
The best feature of Android is IMO that it is open source and the best feature of the Nexi is IMO that they run clean Android and have full fastboot support.
having used an Android phone since the OG Galaxy S (Captivate), i've really come to love that the Nexus isn't locked to any particular carrier, and has no bloatware. in the past, i've always felt like i had to root and ROM my phones the moment i got them, just to get rid of AT&T's craptastic pre-loaded apps. i've had my N4 for nearly 3 whole months and haven't found a NEED to mod it at all (i still may in the future because of a desire to, but the need isn't there).
that's why i love the Nexus...
The Dev community.

Off contract, unlocked, open file system.
I've been firmly entrenched in Apple's ecosystem for almost 30 years, and while most apps still exhibit more polish on iOS... Android is catching up.
Nexus 7 was the first Android device that impressed me, and Nexus 4 is more of the same. While I initially missed the ability to communicate via AppleEvents to my server, I managed to solve that problem and there is now very little iOS abilities I miss on Android.

Change from S4 to One is it worth to loose some money

Hey guys. I got an S4 from my job. And today I saw the ONE in a shop and I got to use it a bit. I liked a lot. But if I'm going to change it I'll be losing some money. And I'm a bit worried of HTC future also.
I've got bees in my stomach.
Any honest thoughts from you who has tried both of the phones.

its not worth losing money over changing imho. the only s4 flaw that worries is me is potential burn in if you are heavy user in bright environments. Check the s3 screens on demo at your local store. nasty burn in on them...
The one all the way man. The s4 may have a bunch of cool features but how many of them do you use? And just look at it... It's freaking beautiful compared to the plastic crap...

Its tricky but if possible spend a little time with One. Not just couple of minutes but little more than that.
There are niggles with even One. Those who own the device will most of the times give you biased opinions. As owner of both, I would not feel it will be sound advice to tell someone to ditch S4 in favour of One and on top of that lose money in the process.
Rather than make another long post about it, I will link to my previous post in locked thread. That thread had to be cleaned because fanboys on both sides just made it ugly in there. And in the end mod had to delete all but OP and my post
Anyway here is the link to it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41699179&postcount=2
Think twice before making a move. One is beautiful device, but S4 is equally good(not in terms of looks) and probably more functional with more traditional way of doing things which are universal to most android handsets. One takes completely different path.
Development for both phones wont be an issue. S4 and One both have great development work going on for it.

This is what I am talking about. Blind one sided view of things. Nothing on One works like stock android by default unless you change the Sense 5 launcher with something else. Not even simple wallpaper changing or creating shortcuts and dragging tray icon apps etc. Even these basic things are done differently. HTC specifically have gone their own way about almost everything with One. Some people love it, some hate it. I dont like it.
And development will not be an issue. S4 has been out for less than a month. One had shortages but it was in hands of lot of developers early.
S4 already had Omega and Wanam ROMs, two top recognised developers for Samsung phones. More will jump in eventually. It is just matter of time.
TWUI is more functional than Sense 5. It may not look as elegant as our sense to look at, but it works just fine. It might have colour scheme that represents brazilian rainforest, but it is functional and most actions work like stock android. So even if someone is coming from likes of Nexus 4 or older Samsung phones or even any old ICS or JB and even gingerbread, they will feel right at home.
S4 may not be as good looking, as well built phone as One, but it is no slouch. Definitely not something that is worth less than One or something you need to throw out to get One and lose money in process.
It has its share of problems just like we have our own share of problems with One. And that is something lot of people here wont accept (that One really does have issues ).
I still use One as my primary phone, that does not mean I am ready to tell someone to ditch his perfectly fine S4 to get One.

I like One, but I would not pay $100 to switch. Both are the best phone available. I believe S4 is more functional in certain area too. But I really can't take the Brazilian rainforest colour scheme which has no style at all, it's just trying to target all kind of audience including 15 years kid. I like the Sense style, it's elegant and classy, undeniable best speakers, best low night camera, etc...

Disable the gimmick apps, those are for marketing. Use the phone instead.
Thanks a lot guys for your honest thoughts. From what I read. I'm guessing its smart to stick with my S4 for a little while still. It's plasticiy and it has a bit of lag time after time. Hope it will get better. And than maby I'll wait until next spring. I only used Htc for a long time maby it's ok with a bit of change for some months.

The One is only okay.
I've extensively used both the One Dev. Ed. and the GS4 and you're not missing out on anything. I am currently using the One and trying out various launchers. IMHO the GS4 had a better phone, calendar, email app, and I really miss 4.2.2. Don't be fooled by the unlocked bootloader: I've literally installed every custom ROM on the One. The difference between the screens is negligible, yet the autobrightness of the One is more functional and CM 10.1 has excellent autobrightness (unfortunately, the screen would go black every time I made a phone call. I like Blinkfeed, but am disappointed by Sense. The GS4 and the One are my first Android phones and I would readily choose the GS4. I have every intention to sell my One and buy the 32gb GS4.
Disable the s4 gimmick features and the phone will speed up

Right, the note 2 has 4.0 so was seeing if anyone has tried
I believe it needs the latest stack of BT4.0 + BLE (low energy) in order to work. At least that was my understanding. So we should wait for 4.3 update toward the end of the year (for N2) in order to make it happen, along with Gear compatibility.
Btw, there is a thread about it in General Accessory section of XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572175 - probably start with last pages since that topic started a year ago.
I thought bt4 was low energy anyway, is BLE and even lower energy tech?
There are a few androids with bt4 now but only the s4 is listed
My pebble doesn't seem to impact my phone battery life at all and the watch itself can go up to a week between charges.

My pebble doesn't seem to impact my phone battery life at all and the watch itself can go up to a week between charges.

Apparently an early "release" of BT4.0 wasn't low power. That is why there is a difference between BT4.0 and BT4.0+BLE. The protocol is different.
Isnt it 400
Too expensive

How much of the various bt protocols and versions is in the physical hw vs the software stack itself? (General question)
CASIO G-Shock with support for all phones
Hello everybody,
I'm the founder of the Android Application called "BlueWatcher". BlueWatcher is the alternative to G-Shock+ Android app to control CASIO Bluetooth watches. A lot of users missed functionality in the official app and I decided to release my own app including the functionality that users proposed me. It's evolving quickly!! Now it supports all kind of notifications (facebook, whatsapp, line... all installed apps), time synchronization, musico control...
You can visit http://www.bluewatcher.es to discover more about BlueWatcher and what BlueWatcher can do for you.
It has been tested my many users in the XDA Developers forum and now it has more than a hundred downloads (~4.70 punctuation at Play Store).
I'm here to help you ([email protected]). Feedback is welcome!
See you and hope you enjoy it!
G Shock+ app works with Note II TESTED
OK, so there's a trick involved.
I had gotten bored with the OS on the phone. So, I installed DN4. Ditto Note 4. (Search the forum for it).
And only after purchasing the G Shock GBA 400 which is the music controlling watch, had I done the research for compatibility. (Stupid me :silly
Anyway, so I was considering to buy the BlueWatcher app (Play Store) in case things don't go right.
So the watch arrived just an hour back (1 PM GMT +5:30) and I thought let's just give it a shot and Voila!!!! It worked! Everything works. The connection happens in 5 seconds. All systems and settings go.
So, here's the thing. If you are willing to let go of the boring Note II OS, then go for DN4 which is a fairly better ROM based on Touchwiz so you could use your SPen as well. And remember to install their latest build. Check their site. The team behind this is called Electron Team. They have a website too. Install the latest TWRP and load the ROM through recovery. Wipe all before use. That's how I did it, anyway.
And hey, G Shock+ and G Mix App work like charm. Hope this helps some folks, at least. I'm going to try and post this to other threads who are looking for this solution for their Note II, at least.
