[idea] for HTC usb connection popup

well as you connect the phone to USB, a Pop up screen from HTC appeas=rs
it is asking about what kind of connection you want to use.
* Active sync
* Disk drive
* Internet sharing
so why not a Car option?
for example
if i connect the power supply of the car, the pop up comes up, but i have nothing to choose.
but if the option was there for driving car, and then this option would do the following.
it would be great.
for instance,
* start Blue tooth (for handsfrea speaking)
* Change letter font zise to big (so the message`s can be read from the dash mount)
* Change phone settings to auto anser the phone after three rings
and offcourse change the settings back to normal when the power source is disconnected.
and maybe there are other options that makes driving easyer.
maybe even make a setting screen for things that you like to change for the driving settings.
unfortunaly i dont have any knowledge about programming so i leave it up for you wizzards to check out if it is possible.

very cool idea i vote for that too

[APP] WiimoteController, can someone test?

Can someone please test if this works? good indication on how the bluetooth works for the Galaxy S.
from the test logs:
"Device/OS pairs that this app probably does not work on:
* Google Nexus One/MoDaCo Alpha r21 Custom ROM Desire Port
* Samsung Moment/Android 2.1 DD10
* Samsung Galaxy Spica/Stock 1.5"
Which worries me slightly....

Doesn't work. App keep saying BT not turned on even though it is in settings. The built in BT scanner can see the wiimote, but unable to connect as it requests for a passcode but the usual ones don't work.

damn! i wonder if its down to a setting somewhere or a more serious issue that causes the other samsung phones to fail at this too.
not sure if you have but try it this way:
Usage:
* turn bluetooth on
* run the app
* if this is your first run, hit Yes. Enable "WiiControllerIME". This is only needed once right after installation
* tap the first button and at the same time put your Wii remote in discovery mode by pressing "1" and "2" simultaneously
* wait for the "Connected" message to appear. The first LED will turn on on the Wii remote
* back in WiimoteController tap the second button and select WiiControllerIME
* done. The Wii remote is connected. Go play!
* if you want to connect more than one Wii remote, follow the same procedure, but put ALL the remotes to discovery mode
* to disconnect a single Wii remote, hold the power button on it
* to disconnect all Wii remotes, use the option from the menu or simply turn the phone's bluetooth off
* don't forget to set your favorite IME back or you won't be able to type (or check Preferences to find an option to do that automatically)
thats from the authors post on how to do it...

For instance:

Thx

Idea : Android smartphone as security device (inside of my laptop)

I have large 17" laptop with unused second hdd caddy (= i don't have second hdd in my laptop). As I work in various offices during year as contractor physical security of my laptop concerns me quite a lot. I often leave my laptop in the offices overnight. I am using kensington lock and all data are encrypted but let's move it to another level. Free space in second hdd caddy (http://www.ebay.com/bhp/2nd-hdd-caddy) could be used for installation of GPS/GSM tracking device
When is laptop locked e.g. in the office cabinet or on the table g-sensor could detect that someone took my laptop - then gps could be activated and each few minutes gprs could send me location of my laptop. First idea I had was to combine Arduino modules together but now I think I need just some c heap Android smartphone with g-sensor + gps. Smartphone battery could be easily charged (every working day ~ 8 hours) through SATA power connector as there are very similar voltage levels as in USB. I could even add extra batteries to have smartphone active for longer time - so even after one week holiday device would work fine. I could enable/disable this tracking device e.g. over bluetooth or simply setup schedule when to (de)activate smartphone tracking app. Smartphones are also pretty small so I would fit with extra batteries inside of hdd caddy - Arduino or any other custom hw would propably take more space. I have to test how good is GPS signal "inside of my laptop".
I need your advice now - which type of Android smartphone I should use for this purpose ? I need total control of g-sensor + gps + gprs + bluetooth - I don't mind to root phone to get everything I need. Preferably phone should be small and not with built in battery.
