Hello
i own the zte open from UK ebay store
now some questions
is there a taskmanager? (kill tasks)
possibility to view:
- ram usage
- signal strentgh (gsm)
- toggle 2g/3g
app for task killer?
app for pop3 mail?
i also encountered a problem that firefox browser cannot save passwords of visited pages (webmail for example...)
is there any solution?
also smilies in sms messaging is missing...
BUT - i have to say i am very happy with ffOS and the zte open
quite fast
no reboots

need google reader tips

hello all.
i would like your thoughts and tips on running on your xperia. more than %90 of my desktop webbrowsing is from reader. i read and skim through over 1200 items daily with 60 feeds
unfortunatly i havent managed to use the reader effectivly on my mobile device. i use opera mobile(wifi) + ucweb (bandwidth friendly). here are some of the problems that prevent me from using the reader
-using the mobile page www.google.com/reader/m is only good for toy phones and lacks too many features
-using rss hub is too bandwdth hungry and wastful (i read the contents of about %40 only)and does not sync with google reader which is too important
-using the iphone page www.google.com/reader/i on opera mobile is not nearly as good as the desktop experiance + bandwidth hungry with all the big pictures if you open the stories+ buggy when opening the stories
-using the iphone page on ucweb or operamini is too buggy cant even go to next page and cand even open items
anybody can help by providing me with your experiance and tips on what works best for you
it seems the only real way is for google to realease a dedicated app (bandwidth and finger friendly).
I'm actually working on a windows mobile google reader application/panel......
...you are right though, the mobile webpage does lack features and functionality of the desktop version.
Forgive me if I am mistaken but you are looking for an rss reader correct? (If not then please disregard all that follows)...
I use Newsbreak and its pretty decent... there are a couple of threads about (perhaps more on the wider board rather than just the x1 part) rss readers and so forth, they have a list of some pretty decent ones and it even lists their abilities and pros and cons etc... If I can find it I will post it... but that probably wont be till friday as I dont have a lot of time to search at the moment...
Shadowdh, google reader is RSS but i cant Sync with another client with it so i can pickup where i left from the desktop
emuneee, that is so cool. if possible, can you address my concerns especially the low bandwdith part (maybe just disable all pics and flash will be good enough) and an option to download all unread stories locally to the machine.
please keep us posted
Maybe you should try pRSS Reader. I think it syncs with Google Reader, you can view the posts offline with pictures, it can even download the full article (the link) if you specify it.

Too bad it's discontinued.

Thanks for this recommendation, using it now and does sync with my google reader account.
It is a shame that it's been discontinued, but it does seem to have as many features as other RSS readers out there.
Update on pRSSreader data usage
Just thought i'd give a warning to those wanting to use pRSSreader to sync with their Google Reader service.
This program uses a LOT of data!
I'm using SPB Wireless Monitor to watch how much data each program uses since i'm on a limited data plan. In about 8 hours of usage, the program used 9.4Mb of data.
This bad part was that this was without downloading the pics or whole articles for offline use. The program itself is great, but I would recommend scheduling it to update through WIFI and not automatically using GPRS.
i too am suffering greatly from out-of-the-plan accedantal extra data usage
is there a way to prevent certain app like prssreader to even use the GPRS/3G connection. there must be some kind of trick to do this
i just want to allaw ucweb(or opera mini) and activesync to have access to the 3g/edge cell data connection since they are effecient in data usage. other "wastful and expensive" apps like opera mobile , prss, should only be restricted to wifi

You can disable auto updates in the program and only do manual updates when you have your wifi on. Wifi takes preference over an active 3G connection anyway.
You can also set it to auto update when docked to your pc so it uses your pc's internet connection, or set it to update at a certain time. This way if you have a profiles program (like GProfile), you can set the Wifi to turn on at a certain time to match this.
fxcoupeman83, what you are saying is exactly what i am doing but accedental mistakes happen (a lot in my case)
preventing apps from using the cell connection is the only clean way of solve the problem properly
There's a program called 'NoData' which you should get. It stops programs from accessing data connections. http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata
crabby
that thing blocks everything
i dont want to block email or ucweb
hi
i've just found this wonderful piece of software i was looking for a long long time, prssreader. it does exactly what i want : sync my google reader on mobile... what a pity that it is discontinued........
the data consumption is not really a problem for me as i've an unlimited 3g data plan, but it's sure less data would be better
what i'm looking for in a windows mobile rss reader is :
-bidirectionnal google reader sync (with read/unread/starred states)
-ability to download ALL the feed for offline reading
-ability to send feed via email (with internal mailer if possible)
-quick reading of feed header and quick toogle of read/unread state for articles you don't want to read
-send feed to social networks (twitter, facebook, etc...)
thanks for the future devs
ps: it seems pRSSreader is already doing most of my requests, except the last two ones though

I will take all of that into consideration...as well as the feature about only using Wifi to sync during development.

when do we expect a beta version of your reader?

I'm shooting for the second half of April. I'm making good progress now.
thanks for the update. really looking forward for this. to me having a proper reader is more important than even a general browser
two questions:
-is it going to be finger friendly? especially for go ing to next item, starring and marking as unread
-can you view youtube videos though flash player?

I've had my Legend for only 2 days, here is what I use:
-ScoreMobile (sports scores and news)
-3G Watchdog (monitors my monthly data usage)
-1337pwn (xbox live friends list)
-Advanced Task Killer (kills open apps)
-DoggCatcher (solid podcast app)
-Note Everything (quick notes)

-Handcent SMS (SMS & MMS app)
-WiFi Manager
-Barcode Scanner
That's all for now.
here are a few of mine
Google Listen
Astro file manager
Retro Clock
Handcent
Keepassdroid
Google Maps Brut
auto lock, lets you choose a time frame in which your Legend won't ask for the security pattern when unlocking...
Here's some of mine that I've used on my G1, Hero and now Legend:
AnyCut - Allows you to alter labels of Icons on the home screen.
Astrid Tasks - A little "To Do" list manager, handy to remember things.
ASTRO - File manager, easy enough right?
eBuddy - Stable and what I've found to be the best MSN client.
engadget - Although I live in the UK, I like the tech feeds from it.
FxCamera - Camera emulator/FX which I mainly use for its Fisheye mode.
Jewels - This is just an addictive, simple game.
MySettings - More of a widget to change most common settings easily at the touch of a button instead of racing into the settings menu everytime.
No Lock - An app to disable the lock screen, so you can unlock without having to hit the power button everytime. Only just got this so might not keep it
Robo Defense - Free or Full, this is addictive if you've ever heard of tower defense.
Shazam - Names music through sound tagging if you don't know the name!
Sky News - Handy for looking at news on the go.
Task Manager (Green Android Icon, holding red X) - I prefer this to all other Task programs, has a really nice neat widget and clear UI.
UK National Rail Train Departures - Downloadable only off the net from the National Rail site or somewhere, but so handy for checking train times etc.
WikiMobile - Wikipedia on the go, simples.
XDA - Duh?
p.s. This should be pinned either here on in the apps section of the forum possibly?

What are some good apps/widgets to download?

Seeking suggestions on some good widgets/apps. My interests are social networking, music, ..the norm.
Also, what do you guys think about the "Twitter for HTC Sense" widget vs. the "Touiteur"?
For music services try pandora or slacker. For players, poweramp, mixzing, or meridian. For song id shazam.
Some people like Foursquare.

Double twist is a good music player and tweetdeck is good for social networking
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
PowerAMP is the best for music players. Hands down. I bought the full version today - the trial is full-featured but expires after a while.
I use Peep (the HTC twitter widget) but I don't do any tweeting I just follow stuff and check up on it a few times a day. Definitely get Handcent; it's a great SMS replacement app that is really customizable. My favorite is getting it to split messages after 160 characters by word, so there's no word being cut off, and you dont get an annoying message from Verizon about how you can't send over 160 characters to carriers other than Verizon like you do with the stock app.
For web browsing, I'd pick up Dolphin HD. I like it better htan the stock one because I can exit out of it and end the process - for a while I was having problems with the stock browser getting my phone hot and using CPU while I wasn't using it.
Definitely get Appbrain. Then:
On Appbrain, you can install an app called Car Home released by Google. It replaces the (awful) stock "Car Panel." Add it to your phone from the web site and then install it from the application and open the Car Panel app and choose Car Home. It's much more customizable and it doesn't use GPS all the time whenever it's open.
Obviously, get Angry Birds.
Good Morning is an alarm app that I like. It starts playing music and then tells you the time, day, weather, and if you purchase it, your calendar appointments for the day. Get the free version and then upgrade if you want multiple alarms and the calendar appointments.
Hope this helps enjoy your phone.

Appbrain. It used to be more useful than it is now, but it still lets you browse apps on your computer and add them to a list that you cam install from your phone in the app.

Lol 99%
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS4.
adw.launcher and adwnotify - I like adw better and adwnotify gives me the unread count wherever the icon is.
handcent sms for texts - top notch app
angry birds for waiting in lines
Astro file manager
dropbox (easiest way ever to get things to your phone)
autostarts - this lets me control what starts on startup, so i can do things like make the random games that i play once a week not start up every time i boot the phone.
barcode scanner
dolphin browser - yay tabs!
Touchdown/exchange for my work email (yes, i know they can remote wipe it if they want....since i wipe the whole thing myself every couple of weeks to play with a new rom, that hardly matters.)
appbrain
lookout mobile security or threat aware (trying this one out)
mahjong
pandora
robo defense
springpad (awesome note taking app that syncs to the web)
trap! (annoying awesome game)
U.S. Army Survival Guide (in case of zombie apocalypse)
XDA
Y5 Battery Saver (turns off wifi unless you are in range of a remembered wifi hot spot)
Two that I wish worked better are:
Widget Locker (as stated above - can be laggy and flakey - replaces the lock screen but lets you put whatever you want on it.)
ICE - In Case of Emergency (also replaces lock screen, but force closes on 2.2 a LOT)
Some apps I haven't seen mentioned, For humor, try
Fml, epic fails, demotivational posters, daily comic strip
For shopping, amazon, best buy.
For in the car, I just ordered a blueant s4, which has app that goes it that will read texts to you, allow for navigation to be read via Bluetooth, and announce callers and give option to answer or not. Haven't got it yet, don't know how well it works.
Is car home gone guys?

- Multiple photos selection (http://clip2net.com/s/29z2y)
- More settings in Ease of access (maybe they were just US specific before that?) - text size, high contrast mode, screen magnifier throughout the system
- Ability to remap the STOP button in IE to something else - namely favs, stop/refresh or tabs
- Partial blocking of cookies (tracking cookies?)
- Lockscreen to show Bing today picture rather your own one (NEAT!)

I highly doubt that, didn't see any api
Here's my list, what I have found so far in the .chm file:
SmsInterceptor for capturing SMS messages
SpeechSynthesizer, SpeechRecognition - sounds good
Battery class for accessing remaining power, finally!
LockScreenWallpaper - API for changing current lockscreen
VoipPhoneCall - if you want to create your own Skype clone
SaveAppointmentTask - to save appointments into calendar
App to App and App to Device Bluetooth communication
FlipTileData, CycleTileData, IconicTileData - new types of Tiles, including that 3 size tile
Second post GREATLY updated with A LOT of images. Click on them for full resolution (WVGA).
If anybody would be interested in some kind of video walkthrough - I suppose it could happen during the weekend as well?
Also it seems to run with only 256MB RAM without a page file, so hopefully we will be seeing devices like the Nokia Lumia 610 at a low price.
anything related to wifi? I really want an option to not lose wife when phone is locked
Thanks
i still don't see myself pulling away from android. i really want to though...
I want to see the lock screen in action, and I want to see if they made any changes to the toast notifications.

is VOIPcall based on skype? or a standard like SIP?
i work in a telephony company, and i'm interested in this functionnality: i already have lot of ideas of how to use voipcall in my desktop software (switching from desktop softphone to WP8 voip automatically, adding mobility to my desktop softwares, etc...)

There are some registry values relating to SIP, and it has already been announced that it supports skype.

i hope it will not be skype only.
some registry doesn't mean "it will be ok for SIP", but it's a good start
What about multitasking?
Is the multitasking the same as Windows Phone 7.5? Is the number of "freezed" apps increased? Are there any changes?
The only thing we know from MS is that VoIP apps and GPS apps will be able to run in background (or get much less limits compared to regular apps) - so apps like GPS navigation or Skype will run in background as you'd expect them.

[Q] Is there a way to access Google Tasks on a Google Wear device?

Hi,
I share a Gmail account which has some task lists within it - and I'd like to be able to look up outstanding tasks on my smartwatch (LG G Watch R). Ideally I'd also like to do the same thing with some task lists in an Microsoft Exchange account - but this is less pressing.
I know there is a multitude of tasklist / to-do apps out there - but I'd like to use the existing task lists I have.
I know that CalenGoo can sync with Google Tasks - however I couldn't find a way of browsing these task lists on the smartwatch (at least not within the 15 minute refund period!).
I have also seen TinyTasks (both on XDA and in the Play store), which sounds ideal - but doesn't look like it works with Google Wear devices (unless I'm mistaken).
What I'd like is an app on the smartwatch that I can open that will show me all my task lists (from this shared Google Account, or an Exchange account), let me browse through the (incomplete) tasks in each list, and then mark them as done.
I've tried searching, but the keywords "google", "wear" and "tasks" are wayyyy to generic to pin-point what I'd like - if it exists.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this?
Same here - looking for same app/funcionality.
Same for me
Full Todo List App on Wear but not for GOOGLE TASKS !!! Google not compatible with Google system ? I found this incredible
I have Google Task on my pebble : PebbleNotes, on my Sony SW2 : Tiny Task, but nothing for the Google Wear OS...
I came here looking for just this. Does anyone know of any app that will support Google tasks? I dont want to use anything else and its the one functionality I bought my smartwatch for!!
No, of course Google OS is NOT COMPATIBLE with Google Apps
Use TickTick if you want and leave Google Task....
help
I am using Keep to record my notes from Sony Smartwatch 3, but I really prefer using Google Tasks. I hope someone finds a way to use it and posts it here. Thanks.
I tried ticktick but I dont like it as much... I really just like Google tasks and I use gTasks. Anyway, I emailed the dev of gtasks - he said it's on the list but don't expect it any time soon. Maybe if more people expressed their desire he might do it sooner? Email: Support (a)t gtasks (dot) me
Is there a lot of work in making this happen? If anyone else finds a workaround please let me know - I really want this for my watch!
Now I'm using Samsung Gear. I will wait 3 or 4 years before Wear became an usable OS
GTask works on Watch : Android, Samsung Tizen, Sony SW, pebble. Just the Google Wear OS where Google Task do not works
I got it working
Ok I figure out a workaround, but it works great
Basically you need to use Zapier and Evernote. Evernote has a working Android wear app, and Zapier can copy any notes to Google tasks.. Start a new Zap from Evernote to add task to Google tasks. When adding the zap you have to play around - you put "Content Text" in the "Title" box - but it works perfectly!
The limit on the free accounts is 100 zaps per month - and it refreshes every 15 mins - but thats enough for me for now!
Hope that might help some people with the same problem...
