The damn automatic key lock...

Just got my vibrant today and it auto locks almost immediately. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

It's under settings->sound and display... 1 minute works great and under the appliactions->Development you can also set it so that it doesn't turn off while plugged into USB (charging). That was a god send when I rooted and put the deodexed ROM on.

Thanks for the quick reply. Do u know if there is a easy way to keep it from [email protected] all? I would prefer to just lock myself...

Get NoLock from the market.

Yes, nolock. An essential item. I pity all the regular people that don't go on forums with these phones, Samsung and Android are really going to alienate a lot of them. I suppose regular people go for the iphone though so maybe I don't have a point after all.

There is an awesome app called LockDelay that allows you to screen-off your phone after whatever time you specify, and then it will automatically lock it after yet another time you specify.
I HIGHLY recommend it, it really allows you to secure your phone and save your battery by turning that screen off.

Just sold a Vibrant in my T-Mobile store today. My rep was showing the customer hers and the customer asked her opinion, he also noticed I had one (I'm the store manager) so I walked over and struck up some conversation to close the deal. As I scrolled through the screen he noticed the XDA app icon and inquired about it. I gave him a few pointers and explained he should joined because there's a wealth of knowledge to be found on these forums. I've found having that little app installed on my phone, as well as our Android live demos is a nice way to introduce customers and new Android owners to XDA.

stock phone is very good. but after customizing, it becomes a whole different android experience.

Thanks for all the tips... I installed no lock, and set the screen to a min an its doing the trick.
Side note, its amazing that I could make the jump from blackberry an transition to the vibrant, can u think of 2 more different phones.

They are two very different phones, but as someone works in the industry, my opinion is that RIM hasn't helped themselves by keeping the Berry in the "stone age." Don't get me wrong. I understand they still have a strong following and a huge success in the business market, but Android is catching up and can be used just as well if you have the right phone. Glad you made the jump and the transition is going well.

any one got google application inventor.........?

any one got google application inventor ?
i think i have requested thousand times for Google application inventor.....but they didn't respond yet.......
i think they will publish on 2012............

I was sent an invite weeks ago, they will get round to you...
Until it allows icons for apps and market submission ... Its just a bit of fun.

I got the acceptance today... it's not an application that you can download... it's web based and runs in an applet type application with a jnlp installer. Personally, I think it might be ok for prototyping... but good luck making anything that is close to advanced with it. It would be easier just to write the code.

i am waiting for my reply.........goooooogle............

I wish I had the mind of a programmer! I want to be able to code and write apps so bad, but I'm more of a visual guy. I do 3d animation. Every time I try to learn programming my brain begins to melt.

Agreed! I realllly wanna learn code but it boggles me. This app inventor may not be too advanced, but it'd be fun to tinker with to make small personal apps. Still waiting for my invite lol :impatiently waiting for google to email back:

Yeah, I just got one yesterday. But as eatmold says you can't use a custom icon on the phone (though that may be possible to do, but the people who know guard the secret - google say its on the list, but knowing them that will be 2012!)
However it is possible to export and import code (not java, some special google stuff) - so people might be able to exchange and share information.

i am a medical student.........for us Google application inventor is a wish come true.............

just think how long Gmail was in beta. still waiting on my invite

Get folder organizer. Might be one word. It allows you to place a widget, with a custom icon, that launches either a folder, or an app. So you'll have a stock app in the app drawer, but at least it'll look nice on your desktop
I asked for my invite second day. Still no invite

Took about 3 to 4 weeks. I rather enjoy it. Going to school for computer science and its great for learning basics. Its block dropping but the blocks say the code so if you try its a great teacher. N1

Im still waiting on my invite, perhaps its location based on the invites?

it may be location based of usage based. I applied a month ago and nothing yet. I even put detail about the app i wanted to create in my application to them.

I got mine. I live in Virginia.
It's pretty neat, but I've been having issues with VoiceToText not waiting until my TextToSpeech is finished running.
Like, I'm trying to create a voice driven menu for hands free use so I ask a question and then want it to pause for an answer... Instead it starts talking and the VoiceToText box comes up at the same time. Frustrating...

Darnit! It seems like you are all on the east coast... but so am i lol. I'm in CT, maybe ill see it soon!

Introduction & Application Ideas

First I would like to say I have been looking through XDA for about three/four months now, but haven't posted anything. I had the HTC Leo (HD2) from T-Mobile, but did not have coverage in my area (plus, WM was a turn-off...lol). So I switched to AT&T and got the BlackBerry Torch. After about 20 days with it I got bored of the lack of "good" applications in App World. So I decided to get a Motorola BackFlip...but when I saw the Samsung Captivate, I was in love. I have been programming for well over six years, but about two years ago got into Java (for the BlackBerry development, I had a BB Storm at the time). Android application development is pretty similar to the BlackBerry's (as I expected), so I'm pretty confident in my programming skills with Android.
Enough of my introduction, my point is I would like to contribute to the XDA Community...to give back something from everything I've gotten. I have two ideas:
1) Get application ideas from the XDA Community, anyone that contributes will get the application for free.
2) Help out some project such as KiteUI, or start one myself.
All feedback is appreciated! Thank you for reading!

Welcome to forums
Nice introduction

Howdy, Nick. I'm trying to start a project myself, but I've had no takers so far. I'm hoping to find a developer here on XDA and get feedback and ideas through a beta release to the forums. Interested?

Outlook App fior Android (working on 1.5 on) and a sync app that doesn't rely on the cloud!

I would really appreciate the following:
1. Ability to change fonts within the phone without having to go into clockwork and flashing zips. Some fonts are too massive for a small screen end too much scrolling is required.
2. A good google reader app and widget.
3. Better email and lock screen apps and widgets. Unified email inbox would be extremely valuable.

Thanks for the feedback! They all seem like great ideas. I'll start working on one and PM you when it's finished.

Nice intro. Wish I had mad skills (or rather any skills, LOL).
Anywho, I would love to see an unread email widget(s) that can show unread count from any and all email clients available on android currently, specifically default email client & yahoo, and of course gmail. I would that you could customize the icons and optional text colors.
Something like the current SMS unread count available in the market, only better just an idea.

WP7Android Lockscreen Released! ~UPDATE!~

Hey,
For those of you who don't know, we (me and my friend) from the WP7Android team were working and still working on a WP7 Lockscreen, which was released as a "Lite" version today on the forum (for the engadget promotion). when the Engadget promotion finishes (http://wp7android.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=113), I will publish the lockscreen on the market (Only the lite version, you will be able to access the full version on the website when its released, www.wp7android.com/shop/) and the full version will be hopefully released within a week or so..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11620804/Wp7/ScreenShots/WP%20Lock.png
(Read My Last Post For The Update).

there is no need for another thread...

There is no need of you spamming every thread with the WP7Android project.

Well, First I didn't know that there was another thread going on, that's why I posted this one. And second, I can understand from only one post, there is no need for the whole world to reply the same thing..

uhmm. Sorry, I meant to have replied to the first guy, not you.I have no problem with this thread

Yeah the shadewalkerz guy has been trolling all the wp7 threads.
I withhold my position that the wp7android team should release everything for free except maybe the launcher, so that people will use your stuff. When you release all these limited versions that are just okay, and then don't have the paid versions even on the android market, you aren't going to get hardly any profit. If you put everything in full for free you will likely get many more customers who would be willing to donate to the project, and you might even get featured on some android sites, maybe even Engadget or Lifehacker.

Full Version Details.
No probs Simon.
And about the full version thing, we are going to release all the full apps on the Android Market soon. So keep an eye on that too!

Wow, nazis on xda. Its called freedom of opinion, I can tell my opinion if I want.
Here is your fish: ><°>
Yep, very small.

For those Of you guys who still don't know yet, I have released the WP7Lock Lite on the Android Market.

If anyone finds any bugs, FC's, etc.. send me am email, or use the "Contact Us" option in the lockscreen

I'm not able to download any of the apps from market. I have a HTC Desire and live in Denmark if that helps.
I did get the lite version from the promotion though, working good

Too much advertisment for a buggy and unfinished product (wp7android). There is no urge to try your produducts seeing as there are other alternatives which are less buggy, like fede music for example. Widget locker can create the same look as wp7 lockscreen although it is not possible to slide the lockscreen picture up...but I can live without that aslong as I have a buggy and laggy free lockscreen

I actually find the lockscreen, working really well, but the other apps really need more work if youre wanting ppl to donate and buy your apps.
So, nice work overall, i really like the wp7 lockscreen.

Well, the WP7Lock is in it's early stages (Barely in a Beta Stage), so you would have to expect things like that.

Whats Microsoft position on this???

Yeah, I gotta say... I bought the actual WP7contact app and Im disappointed... have to uninstall Facebook to get it to log in. And then it will only do status updates. Won't sync with Facebook and friends pics or show there statuses. And for the first week. Every time I left the app and came.back in it would FC. I would have to uninstall or clear app data to get it to work again.
--In 1938 I killed a Hobo--
--In 1938 I killed a Hobo--

I installed and it worked out great. Had 1 issues tho, I could push the home button and the lockscreen would be bypassed by that, the slide to lock thing was a little buggy. For example, when I slide to unlock it'll just sit bouncing. It was good, but not for my use personally.
Good job overall, I'll check out the product in its later stages.
