Reading on Yota 1 - YotaPhone

Greetings!
I have just ordered my Yotaphone 1. (Yes, it is the "old", the first one).
I was looking for a forum, where users of this phone may share their knowledge, thoughts,questions, etc.
So, here I am.
I would like to use my Yota-1 mainly for reading (next to using it for phone calls and SMS).
How good is it for reading? (I would upload my books, most of the times in txt format)
How can I copy some text out of a book? How about using dictionnaries for quick translation of a word?
How easy is to go to the next page?
And a "simple" question: would you suggest to someone you like... to buy this Yota-1?
Thanks, and greetings!

SMS Fun Tool

Hi everybody. When I write SMS with my girlfriend I sometimes mess with the text. For example I write the text down on a paper and writh it backwards like:
Hi sweetheart. I just wanted to say that I stay here one more day. I love you --->
ouy evol I. yad erom eno ereh yats I taht yas ot detnaw tsuj I. traehteews ih.
So that she has to read it from the end.
Unfortunatly I am not a programmer. Could anybody write a tool that can mirro an sms text please. Then it would be easier. No need of paper anylonger.
And if anybody else has more funny ideas it could end up in a fun sms tool.
Thanks alot.

oh yeah great fun. I suggest you ask your girlfriend to look at the phone facing a mirror and read the text from the mirror image. Just joking no offince There are serious issues which need to be resolved with XDA2 SMS before we can make fun out of it.
Kufi, have you really thinked on what you said ? did you try the mirror ? was the same effect ?
Alex, if i have some time, i'll write a simple app to do it in the next days and post it here
regards
Hey Hbatista! Sounds great!
Thank you very much!
@ kufi if you turn your display off you get a mirror
Alex
loooool guys, you are wonderful! I tried the mirror but what I saw was the ugly me..
here's your tool with source code
Glad that good humour still persists!
Here's your app. I'm including source code and a ARM cab to do the installation. You should copy the cab and dat file to your device and proceed to installation.
Hope it helps
regards!
talking about good humor..
I included in the about box a small credit to Kuffi!
Hi hbatista! Thank you very much for your cool tool.
A copy function would be cool though. Because then I could copy any text into a sms or mms using the normal tools which also stire the send messages.
And... Nice Mirror Pic Man!!
Thanks.
Alex
right away!
no problem!
here's the new version with a copy/paste menu!
Thanks Man.
Really nice one.
Alex
Now I get an error:
MirrorSms.exe
MissingMethodException
Application::Run+0xf
frmSendMirrorSms:Main+0xa
Is anything else exept the files you attached needed to run it properly?
Alex
sorry!
yep.. I only tested it on emulator, and I don't know why the opennetcf is not being correctly installed...
this new version is working...
Now another funny thing. Does anybody remeber these secred languages form childhood? We were about 5 children and we had such a language training it for weeks. At the end we were really fluent and nobody could understand us. My sister and I still use this language for fun every now and then.
Now we could transfair this to SMS.
For example: Iluvi aluvam coluvomiluving laluvateluver.
which means: I a m co mi ng la te r
I am coming later.
The rule is: After each vowel you put luv and then repeat the vowel if there are more vowels in a row like ea you take all of them and put luv there like ealuvea.
Do you like my suggestion?
Any other ideas?
Alex
lol
well, and what about random ? :lol:
the source code is there, so any other posters can change it. now i have to come back to my vehicle tracking system
Thanks anyway.
Very nice tool

phonenumber?
Do you need to type the phone number in by hand? I don't know any phonenumber nowadays ...
Copy/paste doesn't seem to work in that field

contacts integration only available at commercial release
(read this post title) :lol:
I'm just kidding.
Well, integration with contacts will be a little more difficult. There is no library to do it in the language i used.
Even the clipboard integration was more difficult than sending the sms (can u imagine ?), because compact framework does not support CE clipboard.
I'm not fluent in eC++, but maybe other posters can do it...
Although, if i have some time i will do it...

Hello hbatista,
I'm trying to find a simple programming language to program small nice functions for my Qtec. can you suggest an affordable language ?
thanks
See OpenNetCF
Hi Abalgir
Right now, the best choice would be eC++ (embedded visual c), but for someone initiating, it could be complicated. You can also choose embedded visual basic (eVB).
Although, Microsoft operating systems are migrating to "Managed code" and .net technologies. This means that you should start thinking on using .net to program the devices. In .net you can choose your favorite language, like c# or vb.net, but i prefer c#.
With .net compact framework, you can do a lot of things, but some core fiunctionalities are still not available, but you can use something like OpenNetCF (see www.opennetcf.org) to do core things like sendsms, etc
hope it helps

Predictive Text & XT9 Database

My phone has memorised abbreviations of words which I have used before, however it now insists on offering this word as my first choice even in front of real words. I would like to access the database where this information is stored and change words etc, can someone suggest how to do this?
Thank-you.
I don't know that but I'm also very interested in that.

completely lost - adding a language

First of all, I'll go ahead and apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
I purchased a usa tmobile hd2 last week. I was told it could support THAI language. (purchased the phone for my gf)
But, once we took it home - it was not an option. Figuring this was one of the latest phones.. I haven't returned it yet!
however, I have no clue on how to start. I've been reading tutorials but so far.. nothing makes sense.
So my question:
Is there a simple way of adding THAI to this phone?
?
what do you want your phone to do? do you want all the language on your phone to read thai or you want to be able to just read your language in certain programs like e-mails. also do you want to be able to input in thai???
please be more specific
^ korean flag.. I'm also korean
anyhow.. figured it out. (somewhat)
found a .cab file that allowed "thai" to be an option under language/region settings.
so, my gf can now read emails from her friends.
Now, I installed a thai keyboard.. but when you send texts or emails, they show up as "?" marks.
Ideally, I think my gf would prefer the entire phone to be in thai
whole phone

there are couple threads on the windows app and developments thread that allows your gf to change every font on her phone to thai. there is also a reg edit you can do to get other languages on your phone. do a quick search. as far as the ? i believe the receiving party's phone has to support other languages. pm me if you need farther assistance. good luck
just type in language support in the search engine

A good app for a book author?

So, I'm writing a new book. One thing I hate to do is write it by hand and then convert it back into a digital form. So I'm looking forward to writing it onto my phone (Desire) , because I carry it around everywhere and you never know when inspiration might fill you up. Any good apps ? Currently I'm using colornote (An awesome App!) But something else with some extra stuff like with additional formatting options, features to insert images, etc. would be great. Could use some help from you guys. Thanks.

How about Springpad, Google docs or Evernote? You can use it on the com or the phone
Yeah, Google Docs should do. Or Documents to Go if you want it MS Word BTW, drop a link to your book here when you finish it
Sent from a piece of ginger bread
Thanks guys! It never struck me to use Google Docs so long! Btw - I'm using DocumentsToGo. Thanks again guys, sweet of you
And yes, I will definitely post a link here when I'm done

[Question] Can we start a suggestions thread?

Hi all,
I am wondering if it is possible to have a thread to ask suggestions given the budget and the features.. I read most of this forum but cannot decide which smartwatch is good for me...
So I thought that maybe a lot of people have same problem..
So give my idea:
1) Battery at least 2 days.
2) No need for full Android
3) Need to answer and make calls on connected phone using watch. (No SIM).
4) Able to read notifications.
Being able to answer SMS/messaging is a plus.
Ideally with voice keyboard or a English NOT T9 keyboard (English is not my language).
Budget within 100-120$ shipped ideally...less is way better.
If this thread breaks rules delete it.
Thanks in advance.
