wBEER or SOmethinG?

I know that this would just be a useless application with no purpose at all, but you have to admit it would be really cool! There are tons of applications on the web for the iPH*** like iBEER, and iMUNCHIES and so forth. There useless but really cool party tricks. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to make it for windows mobile. Does anyone have any Idea how this works, or if it is possible? Anyone interested or willing to give it a shot?
If you don't know what this is just go to youtube.com and type in iBEER , iMILK, iMUNCHIES , my personal favorite iBUG, or iWATER
THERE EXTREMELY COOL PARTY TRICKS!!!

THE GIRLS!!!
OH YEH, I forgot the girls! CHECK OUT iWASH also. I take back my previous statement, this is by far the cooles!!!! CHECK THEM OUT and someone figure this out please!!!

MAYBE
They may be just vids, Im not sure. But if so, how are the activated so fast, & no outline of another program!!!!!!!!!!

they use the iphones built in accelerometer to tilt the liquid in the screen. the same thing could be done with a video but you'd have to time it

Actually they don't. They are for the most part nothing more than videos. Trust me. A friend had them on his iPhone, gave them to me and I had them playing on my 8525 for a few weeks when I was using an iPhone theme. I set a hardware button to launch coreplayer with the chosen video as the last played item in full screen on start.
The hardest part was converting the video format and getting the screen size and orientation correct.

I have a friend who had a water themed one and it poured out when he tilted the phone, this could only be due to an accelerometer because it never just poured after a certain time limit only after he tilted it, i have seen others that are videos though

So you have them? please post it.

Onlive Android app

Anyone on GB roms tried yet on vibrant? Reviews look pretty cool of you have fast wifi. This is the second app (Skype ffc video call being first) that makes me miss GB.

I second that. I use it on froyo and can do everything but play games. I wanna know if on GB if you can play the games?

There are about 30 games that have touch controls, the rest are controller or kb/m. I believe more games will get touch controls in time. The touch controls are specific to each game like specialized button layouts and some games like Split / Second have a slider instead of a button, to mimic pressure sensitivity. That means each game has to be set up and tested individually to find the best layout.

i guess if they make some generic xbox360 like controls for all games it would save them much hustle and make touch compatible games come out faster , also they should push all the on screen buttons to the edges of the screen cause some games are like having controls all over the screen , kinda annoying , but the idea itself of the whole onlive thingy is great cause it takes mobile gaming to a whole new level provided that a good internet connection is available....

Discovered small "easter-egg" which may surprise you ;)

Take your Xperia Play box in your hands and look at the main side (big XPERIA PLAY and two photos of the phone). Look at the second, right photo and look at the place near right trigger. See little engraved Camera-shape?
It means that the right trigger might be planned to be used as shutter button for our Plays but in some reason this idea was withdrawn and original Plays are without this engraved shape. I wonder why
Surprised? I am
Cheers!

You are correct. Nice find.
I am just surprised that this function was not included in the phone. Seems like a basic camera function on a phone like this.

Yeah awesome find dude. I am also surprised this was not included on the actual phone.

My right button trigger takes photos, you guys now theres a mod for it on these forums right?

Yes. That mod bugs out on me though. Ceases to function often so I rather not use it at all. Point is we shouldn't have to mod to get that function. It must have been officially planned at some point.

Yeah, nice find.. the L and R buttons look a little curved too
Whats even more surprising to me is you can pinch the screen and have an overview of the widgets, and you can shake it
Found that by chance when it was in my pocket :S

Yeah, pretty cool function. I've discovered it too, unexpectadely when I was testing multitouch. It causes a little jaw drop and jealousy in my friends' faces and they say the want it too on their phones (SGS 2, Galaxy Tab, Optimus 3D). Mwhahahahahaha >:-D
Also using two fingers is very helpful in scrolling up or down quickly if there's lot of a text or menu buttons (ex. Settings or text communicators, doesn't work in web browsers). You have to place them next to each other but not very close and slide both fingers up or down to scroll very very quickly. The position of displayed text is adequate to the position of the fingers - the end of options/text at the lowest part of the screen and the beginning of options/text at the highest part of the screen. Tried this on SGS and Optimus and these phones doesn't have that function, strange.
Try it if you didn't know about that

Yeah but it records HD in the 3gp container instead of mp4, bit annoying

It shouldn't be so, but pressing x takes photos.
That little camera icon and the Hdmi thing makes you wonder what else they got rid of.

I found that out but never shook... Going to try that now.

It worked but what does shaking do? What's the point? Not only the shaking, but the pinching/widget overview thing?

Shaking isn't needed for anything but tapping on a widget will bring you to that screen suppose it could save someone about a millisecond rather then switching screens

Premium Suite, I made a very small video

I just recorded a small video showing the formula introduction and search in the new Snote app in the ICS update.
http://youtu.be/xuNOewO5yNo
Ps: I set the OS language to "català" in case you are wondering.

Do you have 'MY Story'?
It's supposed to be part of the Premium Suite, but I can't seem to find it

Very nice! Surprised as how good the recognition is!
Is this the German 4.0.3 official release?

Yes, it is the German official release.
I updated downlading the update from sammobile to be able to update through mobile odin and keep root access.
So far, so good.
About "My Story", I cannot find it, I only have "mini Diary", but since I don't have my language set to English and I never used the old application, I have no clue if it is new or old.
My only issue is I keep having both the new S Memo app and the old one.

no my story
and we can't take photos from lockscreen from android4?

I have added a few screenshots of internet benchmarks.
Unfortunately I am unable to make screenshots pressing Home+Power buttons.
I also cannot set the screen brightness sliding my finger through the notifications bar
There is a new option to show the battery in %, sweet!!

I think the SS button combo changed in ICS. Try using power + vol down.

New YouTube app full screen button missing when docked on TFs!

Hi,
So Google done gone and broke YouTube in the latest version. The full screen button is now gone when you dock your transformer (any version).
Perhaps someone has a link to the old version they can post....I stupidly had YouTube set to auto update.....
Plus I hate the new interface. It's like it was created for the mentally deficient and blind senior citizens....

YouTube Lags
Hi guys,
i have another problem with the new YouTube app but i didn't want to make a new thread.
Everytime i watch videos in higher quality and in the video are fast movements, it jumps forward for 1 or 2 seconds. I have the impression, that my transformer handles the video to slow, because if i watch films where is no real action, everything is fine.
I hope you understand me and sorry for my bad school english.
Edit: their is a problem with the framerate but i don't know what to do.

Lol yes. Unfortunately that is the case.

Same issue here, no full screen button when docked.
Simply resolved: Go to settings, apps, find the youtube app and uninstall updates. Older version looks MUCH nicer with that Wall!!
New version does show slight improvement in video playback speed though, although could be placebo...
