You have seen this utility?
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/ind...p://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/details.aspx?479
someone is can make something of similar?
Thanks
my diamond switches on when i pull out already anyway!
Why don't you simply buy the one that Kai made? it's only 7USD. That's about 4.5€...
The above mentioned link actually is the tool from the greedy kai.
But let me ask YOU a question: Why throw more money in his mouth for yet another simple tool? Ridiculous!
What makes Kai so greedy? If it is a tool you want, that he has spent time to make - what's wrong with charging you for it?
I assume our good friend pathalogo here is one of them pirates who thinks communism is a good idea as far as software is concerned. You know, well, the software is on the internet for free! Why should I pay for it? They asked for it with their exhorbitant prices! They don't give enough support for me to pay for it! I wasn't going to buy it anyway so I'm not damaging anyone!
Pathetic.
Ha ha! No doubt! It's not like this utility is even expensive...

Yeah, and it runs on a phone made by the greedy HTC on an OS made by greedy Microsoft. Instead the government should force people to make stuff for free. Slavery rocks!
Seriously, "greed" - as in the desire to make a profit is a great thing. When you make a profit in a free economy it means one thing -that you have produced something that others find valuable.
Nobody forces you to buy Kai's stuff. Those that find it useful enough to pay for it will. Those that don't won't. It is as simple as that. You have as little right to demand that somebody else writes software for you for free as you have the right to demand that somebody cleans your bathroom for free.

Well, It took me 5 minutes to figure out how the stylus events work. I'll spend another 5 minutes writing the app launcher so you guys can have it for free.
Though I still appreciate donations.
Oh come on lads it's not only about greed. 8$ for a program with such a functionality is a total rip off. I think kai is the greedy person on this edge.
ilemur - I think you are missing the point. Overpricing one's wares just means you don't understand your market. Technically, a greedy person would set the price at just the right amount to maximize the number of buyers in relation to the cost. In an effort to make as much money as possible - what you are calling "greed".
Technically, it is the people who think they deserve something for free (or less than the seller is willing to sell it for) that are greedy. They are the ones that want something for nothing. THAT is greedy.

Hi Koush, did you figure out how to control the action that the is executed when the stylus is taken out? I want to stop the display from turning on automatically when I take the stylus out.
Thanks a lot
For me its naturally when I put out the stylus that I want to do something with my Diamond.. so it would be also nice when I put it back I dont need to press the power button for screen to turn off...
Such app would be very nice!
Good to have choice indeed. For example for me, it is less than 50% of times I put the stylus back in, that I indeed want to "close" my Touch Pro. Usually I also need to do something with the finger or in my case (Pro) I need to type something.

In my case I use the diamond as my corporate mobile email device, and I never use the stylus for input, I use only the touch interface which is really good. Now in some long boring meetings, in the Touch days I used to pass the time playing with the stylus... but now when I do that with the Diamond, the screen turns on uselessly.
Bottom line: I'd like to know how to control the action done when putting out the stylus, and to be able to turn the action off.
I wonder if there is a registry key for this?
yes there is

Hi, I'm going to buy a Nexus one, but I can't find any good idea for the engraved lines.
What did you write in your Nexuses?
hmmm
I did nothing, so if I need to unload it, then I can.
also i did nothing as if u personalize it, it harder to sell, and i think there was probs with sending it back,
Nothing. Partly because of the "can't return/hard to resell" thing, partly because I genuinely couldn't come up with a line good enough I'd want it stuck to the back of my phone permanently.
just my name & email...
Yea I didnt do this, though about it... but then was like, I go through phones to fast, and the chances of me selling a phone for a good price with it personalized...SLIM.
BTW, I thought about "No iPhone in my pocket" "
I put my First Name, Last Name on the first line, and my Social Security number on the second line.
In case someone finds my phone and wants to get it back to me.

Why? I also have my home and work address on the inside battery cover, so they can ship it out to me if they want to.

It's the best way to guarantee you get your phone back.
There's also a ten dollar bill folded under the battery with a little note
"For Shipping Purposes Only"
"Put any change in the box when you ship my phone back to me kind stranger, thank you."

You're right, that's pretty selfish of me.
I went ahead and put a twenty in, and changed the note to:
"Hello kind stranger, use the enclosed twenty dollars(it's under the battery if you haven't poked around yet you rascal, you!) and please send my phone back home. Feel free to keep any change that's left, it's not enough to make up for your kind action of returning my gadget, but hopefully you can enjoy a sundae or two from you preferred soda shop!"

Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.
100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p
unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..
got that yesterday, tried to get in, but as soon as i said i didn't have the laptop dock they said "thanks we're full".

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.
And got the $ 6 weeks later
Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye

Per my answers, they stated they reached their quota.. hopefully you can get in, maybe they didn't like that I didn't buy the laptop dock, as that was one of their questions, if I had the laptop dock..

Basic question.. ie..
Who bought the Phone...
Who made the decision to buy the phone...
Is this your phone(shows picture of Atrix)...
did you buy the laptop dock(shows picture of the laptop dock)...
what day can we call you(give you a choice of 28th & 29th of March, I chose both)..
what time can we call you...
then I got shot down that the quota was full for the survey..

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....
I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.
I think that if every one that wanted one signed up for email notification then they will have enough phones but just to be helpful and safe I had friends that do not want the phone sign up so more would be available.

Email notification has nothing to do with how many they allocated for the initial release. They allocated the initial batch way before the signup page went up.
I am sure Google will have 50 allotted for us early adopters.
...
This is really the silliest N4 related discussion I've seen so far!
I think we are going to break a record in the amount of TRASH threads today.
Haha. I hope they do sell out. If I don't like it I will be able to sling it on ebay for a profit!
I create 100 email addresses to get notification for.. just in case
Personally, I don't think they'll have enough, to be honest, a lot of manufacturers usually struggle during the first batch. I don't think I've really seen a launch where they don't sell out. Hell, even when ASUS launched the Eee Pad Transformer Prime, I was the 6th person in line in Canada to get it through NCIX and they still managed to delay almost a month after the tablets started shipping worldwide before I got mine after I preordered it.

This review says it's a reskinned Android 4.1.

Upside: heart rate monitor included.
Downside: only 3gb of free space.

Did anyone find a jailbreak or a Windows driver to get access to the watch. Support will be closed very soon, seems to be there is no possibility to download GPX tracks from the watch directly.

Also want to know!
I've been talking to Adidas, and they say that my warranty has void, so they cannot do anything about it!!! So annoying...
I threatened them about writing all over the internet the good service they provide! Anybody can help me out? Sites, places to talk real bad about this issue?
It is a shame that a super brand like Adidas don't ensure the usability of their own and expensive products, don't you guys agree?
sorry for the revival - any one know how to bypass the activation on these devices ? had my device reset and now cannot activate - since unable to get token /login...FFS!! So for folks that are still using this - don't reset device or else you'll have a nice paper weight.
haven't found anyway to put the device in debugging mode to maybe at least bypass activation so I can just use the core features (mp3/gps/HRM).
if you remove the rear cover - there is pads for UART/SPI not to sure at this stage - will have to do some digging...
Flash CHIP (4GB) is SAMSUNG KLM4G1YE4C-B001.
Just to keep everybody informed!
After many, many, but many complains on Adidas, and with the good help of the resolver . com, i got my money back after sending the watch to Germany.
The only bad thing was that had to wait for 2 months after they got the watch there, but...
Bastards
Stopping the support before the announced date - thats disgusting!
Never will buy Adidas products again!
I've used mine for several years and now its not the question of money! Still use them as HRM monitor, hoping to find the solution to download other info some day!

Could you please provide more details on how you got your money back? I was just talking to the support today and they told me to speak with Runtastic (why ever, since I doubt that they took over the software development for the watch).

Yeah, they also told me that, but i fought against that argument because i bought it on Adidas (had a proof of that with me) and not on Runtastic, whatever that companies sells, so my complaint was against Adidas.
Also opened a case on Resolver.co.uk, which did help.
And threatened them al the time to spread the news about this nasty behaviour of Adidas All Over the Internet!
Much efforts, but they did compensate at the end.
Hope this can help you

Thanks a lot - guess that's the only thing I can do right now.
From a technical point of view I'm still wondering, why they didn't publish a possibility, to let the issue get fixed by the community (of course I'd expect a company like Adidas to fix it by themselves, but that oviously didn't happen). I'd assume that they change shouldn't be that big, since only the upload target has to be changed - or am I mistaken? And even in the case, that they don't want to publish any details on the watch OS or the app running ontop, it should have been possible to just create a website that accepts MiCoach logins that are trying to publish acitivites and just forward them to the Runtastic site.
Either approch would be better than just pissing off all the people who payed a lot of money for the watch.
Still noone found a possbility to download GPX (or any different format) files? Think this is the only thing which is missing to run standalone ... meanwhile I've many unsynced runs on my(our) watch(es).
