hi,
does anyone has "caller2picture" ?
I have the trial version and I want to buy the full one, but on "pocket gear" I've seen a post of a user that bought the full version but he's still unable to assign more then 3 pictures.
Can I thrust them and buy the software or do I have to forget it ?
Thanx
Arog

http://www.ppcw.net/forum.php?forum=3&thread=1047393751&area=&story=&page=1
I've used the trial version with more or less success, especially displaying a chimpanzee picture when my collegues tried to phone me :lol:
I've got the full version and it works fine. I've got about 10 pictures assigned to contacts.

Oh, please, give me a break... We're doing our best to create a fun experience for everyone. And besides, what hidden about the policy of removing warez trading?
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=859
This is not acceptable at all.... Xchange man those ppl are receiving us as their guests and why pay them back by insulting them??? 2 days ago this site or this forum has reached its 500 user and all of them are considering themselves as one family sharing and learning and teaching. Please reconsider your attitude as we all are here friends and one happy XDA, o2, QTEK, SX56 (forgot any?) Family...
Thanks for the ppl behind this site thanks for the members in this great forum God bless us all.

I have to agree with XDA developer Peter Poelman
come on xcahnge - $14 is not a lot for software... that is damned useful...
and entertaining, and intuitive. Instead of moaning why not just develop your own version of the software and distribute it as freeware?
I mean if it cost several hundred pounds and you used it three times you'd have cause to grumble.
Dont forget that programmers have mouths to feed - and being a software developer is as worthy a job as a train driver or electrician.
(Apart from Solicitors & Estate Agents)
I am none of these by the way, but I know plenty of programmers!
Dont forget that we need people like this to develop apps for our phones to make them "far more functional" than our friends nokias, or motorolas are.
Hold on a minute you dont like paying 14 dollars, but you have several hundred dollars worth of mobile phone!!!!
Just try it out. add three pics for your best friends and if you like it then just BUY NOW!
:lol:

haha,
no thanks, I already got the serial no... caller2phone. I guess our opinion are different.
xda site
hi all
this is a great site and i normally log in daily i used to have a nokia communicator but the xda is a lot more usefull and the only real website for the xda is my-symbian.com and that started a bit like this site but turned very quickly into a forum for selling software and not really intrested in the people or the product it would be s ahame for this to happen here there is loads of free software out there try downloading bear share and you will get loads of games. anyway keep up the good work on the website.
regards kevin beecher
So... what about sharing the serial!!!!
caller2picture is pants..
I only wanted to be able to select different ringtones... caller2picture adds its bloatware crap and removes another useful feature <sending an sms from the contacts> (or has nobody noticed?)
nobody has made a program with a little box that lets you do the same thing?
hmmmm

It is useless, because it is generated depending on number on your Register screen. And that one is probably calculated from your name/or other unique parameters of you xda.
Hi!
Anyone got similar problem. The pictures aren't showing themselves regularly and consistently. They pop up many times less than they don't. Suggest anything, guys? :?
What is frustrating is I bought the full version, but it will not work with WM2003PE.

The program does work with my ppc2003. Anyway, you have to remove your sd card before the installation since the system will automatically install the software to sd card even you choose to install on the default location. The Picture2Caller does have some bugs when installed to ppc 2003. That is the software fails to work with all contacts. Anyway, if you feel ok with this, go ahead. Cheers
I want to agree with Arzeb,
This is an AWESOME site, complete with smart helpful people. Please keep up the excellent stuff that gets done here.
xchange: please chill.
THANX to the rest of you.
Hal.
Tried installing it again withot the SD card, still does not work. What happens is, it does not retrieve the contact's name, and phone numbers.

You're all still great. I get a tremendous kick out of watching you all help eachother now that I've stepped back a little from spending 2 hours a day answering every second post. The fact that people still get timely and factual answers means this community really works.
A small plea to everyone:
This is a very busy board. So please try to make sure you use subject lines that describe the content. It means you should try not to use "I need help. Help me please!!!???!!!", if you can also use "Stuck trying to downgrade 4.00.10 to 3.17.03".
To make sure this board stays usable, I will be somewhat more actively renaming posts that have 'bad' subject lines, and I may be inserting small comments in square brackets here and there to indicate what I've changed, if that's OK with y'all.
no problem at all boss!!!
not wishing any disrespect Peter Poelman .. The work you guys do is amazing - I'm running SER 1.2 happily, the site is great and the level of expertise between your users is unparalleled.
However I have noticed that people with valid questions are being totally ignored sometimes (myself included) so it can feel like a bit of a "closed club" to us newbies sometimes.
I'm sure it's probably because we don't specify our subjects quite right, but I have tried to be polite, helpful and specific to no avail so I'm not quite sure what to do to get anyones attention ?
Or maybe I'm just dumb............... :roll:

Nah...
I personally do my best to answer as much as I can, and I see some others doing the same. However I do have other things, and if I really have no idea what someone's problem is, or if I feel the simplest search will answer the question, I may let it slip by occasionaly. Sorry if that's what happened to you...
thanks - it's not your fault at all, you're doing a grand job - I guess it's more of a community thing really - and as you say it is busy here, so it's down to everyone to have a go !
Now that I've got your attention though... :wink: Why does this forum look so rough in Internet Explorer on SER 1.2 - the layout on the XDA is all over the place - am I missing something, other sites look alright ? I've been searching for ages - honest !
Oh and lastly - I have to know - why Peter Poelman ? It conjures up images of loads of kraftwerk-like automatons slaving over circuit boards with terminator type music playing ... :lol:
The site looks fine to me, well organised, well presented, front page gives all the latest additions etc, maybe you could redesign it for the guys who are busy hacking and cracking and present it to them as a thank you for all their hard (unpaid) work on our behalf.

The rules of the collective say we can't talk about these things. I'll probably get in trouble, but I'll lift the shroud of secrecy just a little: we're half-human, half-machine, and Peter Poelman is actually my production serial number. We spend exactly half our time in large underground laboratories statisfying the machine parts of us by doing crazy-ass technical research, and then we go and spend the other half of our time statisfying our human halves with an abundance of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
:lol:
nice one ...... and no worries, in your own time !!
besides - the connection speed with O2 is so slow there's no point trying to use this forum on my XDA, I just wait 'til I get home ... :wink:
Hello
I got the software and the serial number for it as well. :idea: The software works like a charm. I have tried it on both PPC 2002 and WM 2003. I use the xda 1(does not work with XDA-2) and the range is limited to 6 feet but the fuctionality of the software more than covers for the range limitation. It can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.pdawin.com/TVremote.exe
:idea: The software also has an exceptional voice recognition capability. Has a built in capability with 30 devices and can be programmed to be compatible with 30 more(In less that 2 mins). For complete summary of the program visit
http://www.pdawin.com :idea:
:idea: The software is for $14USD at pda win and i am giving it for only $5. Buzz me if u want the serial for the software and i will contact you with the payment details. :idea:
Why does it not work on the XDA II?
I really would like such software
I've tried to different ones a while back and they never worked. The plan was to flick the channels while pretending to update my diary! Confuse the hell out of someone!
The people at pdawin are working on some sort of program for the xda 2. it will be out soon. I hope.
yeah people say that the ir in the xda2 is not an default ir like the one on xda1 so it dont work with the remote programs but since ir is ir it should be possible to make one which works on xda2
but that dont solve the issue i had with the xda1 as a remote which was that it's max range was 30cm which dont make it all that remote
of cause i cant say if the xda2's ir is stronger
Has nobody else noticed that this person is asking for $5 for the serial number to software that normally sells for $14, shouldnt the revenue be going to the software author?
I have tried VITO Remote for IR Emote Control and VITO Oscilloscope to display IR waveforms and neither works on the imate/XDAII - the developer is still working on it
Call me a nerd but I think a IR remote on the XDA II would be pretty cool. Esp for changing the channel while you are out and about :lol:
Call me a nerd but I think a IR remote on the XDA II would be pretty cool. Esp for changing the channel on 'other tv's' while you are out and about :lol:
Are you the software creator just selling the software direct ??, otherwise it isnt right that you are charging people $5 for a hacked serial number
Well you'd have to be silly to send this guy any money me thinks.
As far as I can tell there'll never be a working tv remote software for the xda 2. Though it might be possible to use any other if u replaced the actual IR hardware itself.... anyone had any thoughts on this?
Sorry u guys were right no money for the damn thing. Just send me a mail and i'll give you the serial no.
P.S.
I don't know about changing the hardware. Lots of warranty problems and personally i don't want to take the risk for a 5ft range remote control. But it would be fun to try it on a damaged unit though.

sorry bout posting that....i take it back!and im also in favor of free softwares!so dats y i gav u da link!
I am also in favor of free software - IF THE AUTHOR INTENDED FOR IT TO BE FREE!
There are many of us on this forum who make our living as software authors/programmers. Stealing software like you are advocating simply encourages us to take our development efforts to another platform. That results in another handy program NOT being written for PPC.

I totally respect your opinion but having said that the software should be available to people. You know once it happened that i wanted to download something and had to make a donation for it I was ready and then tried to do it but paypal didn't work I contacted the author and he never replied so i looked for some cracks and finally got them.
:?: One othe thing I am getting so many requests from people for the serial that i am thinking about posting it on this forum :?: What do you say :?:
Can remove simlock from HTC Raphael and from any other HTC devices.
This service is not free.
Please send me a Private Message for details.

You can call your service provider and have them unlock it
they have to unlock it if you request
Nice try though
First of all not all providers give you the unlock code. Even if they do they have contract terms and conditions which have to be satisfied before they give you the unlock code like you must have completed 6 months of the contract..
Secondly the unlock code wont be available to you instantly, you must wait for 15 days to 1 month before you get the code.
Third :- You must be the owner of the phone + contract for them to give you the code ( This is where most people miss out)
its a shame to put advertisement like this in a forum that consists of people trying to get this same feature for free ...
you should share the info or just go to e-bay !

Whilst I may agree with you, this same argument is raised every time a new HTC phone is released and Tupisdin offers a paid for unlock for it.
You have the choice to not take him up on his offer and wait for a free version to be created; he simply offers a service for those who need it now.
you and many others...
funny he got the phone whilst it not even being released..
i'd probably better off ignoring this
you are so right
guys plz don't take this one like the diamond one.
the money charged by tupisdin is going to the forum and not into his pocket, so that's generous.
well if thats the case i'll pay directly to the forum show him the confirmation note and he can give it to me freely then?
People this is legit, the moderators and admin know about this and the only currency changing hands goes directly to the forum as a donation.
END of story.

well if thats the case then there is no issue with me giving the money directly to the site and getting the unlock. why complicate things?
I dont actually need an unlock but this guys has been just about as shady as the European Unions financial records, we should have access to all details of the transfers of this money....if he is to be believed that is.

theres no free lunch today , not even, you have seen many free solutions, but not this one, if you are in a hurry and dont want to pay, ha ha ha you have to forget about unlocking raphael, its too new and, very expencive to unlock at this time. thats the life just get over it. and dont forget about all the free stuff xda-dev has given you.
and i know tupisdin is a real gentleman and already helped loads of xda-dev members. and you can trust him 100% to get your raphael unlocked
you know, a few years ago that was exactly why this forum existed to HELP people do this stuff, funny thing is people still donated money because it was a great place to be, that was back in the day when folk were trying to get thinks like WM05 running on WM2003se, or 2003 running on 2002, buz lightyear did some fantastic work and never asked for a penny, people donated to him and im sure folk have given him old devices as well.
That has changed, sadely, perhaps we need an XDA developers pro or something because this is not the place it originally designed as
buzz
buzz............ capitol, grand expert and man.
What I have been asking, how is Tupisdin getting the unlock codes? Is he working for htc, or does he have a calculator or something...

And i very much doubt you will get an answer.
I have no doubt he either works for HTC, or knows someone who does, like many others here who currently do or have in the past.
But the bottom line is, that he is able to sim unlock them, he charges for it which he then donates to xda-devs. if you do not want to pay, then don't. Wait until someone else creates a free version.
As for things having changed, maybe not so much. the number of people who donate or try and help is still tiny compared to the number of people who come here and leech, and flame, and ***** when they kill their device cos they didn't read the instructions properly. and sadly the number of people like this has increased dramatically over the last few years as these devices get more popular.
And besides, for most of the guys here who develop stuff (like Olipro, Cmonex, schaps and many others), they work damn hard so why the hell shouldn't they get a little something for it? Would you go to work and expect not to get paid??
OK everyone has said thier piece, nothing has been on topic since I requested it to be so sorry folks, thread over........tupisdin you can create another one if you so wish but it seems the majority of people want a free ride!? shame really.
Thread Closed.
After seeing a few new threads start up recently, it was interesting to see how different users have explored the boundaries of TG01 and got the maximum out of it!
I was surprised at certain things this mighty beast can do! I am opening this thread with a hope that we will get more input from TG01 users in terms of what can be done using TG01! May be other users like me will benefit now and in future by knowing that there is no limit to surprises TG01 brings
So question is simple with simplers answers:
What do you use your TG01 MOSTLY for? Please vote for the options and if I have missed out something as 'the most common' act on TG01, then feel free to add comments!
Please can I also request anyone who does something different with their TG01, to post links so that other users could try it and share their views too?
PS: Keep this thread fun but full of information!
Please ADD this to your signature and brag how cool your phone is!!
TELL THE WORLD WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR TG01 please VOTE!
*bump*
37 views and only 1 vote!! come on guys, share how good your phone is!
i have already voted nice thread!
Reading, of course!
One of the thing that every day I do with my TG1 is...reading. I've already read a lot of e-books anywhere..if I'm waiting, on a cue...my book is ready to keep on reading from the last paragraph that I read the previous time.
I had installed an app called µBook, but few days ago I discovered Freda, an free EPUB (and other formats) reader that suits perfectly in our TG01
You can download the last version from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-freda.html
Good thread!

If you know any more TG01 owners, please ask them to come forward and share more so that we get more out of this beast

Mate, if you know more TG01 users on the forum, please ask them to vote and share so that we get more out of TG01 from everyone's experience. This might even reveal what sort of tasks are best performed on TG01
It's really good to see from the votes so far that, Browsing on TG01 is what is done mostly!
Considering the complaints of battery drain and crappy IE that comes with TG01, I am sure most of us have ended up using faster browsers and better batteries!
Anything worth sharing to have better browsing experience on TG01 guys?
I do something more than this! (please post a comment and share)
Yes it help me to progress with ROM dev and in english ... of course !!!

Thanks a lot
It is getting more useful and informative as we get more votes!
Already we know that it works as a great device to browse! So many people use it for browsing..
and many votes for 'I use it for something else' too, but only 2 users mentioned some useful info for us. I wish we will have more ideas for tg01
Most of us still use it for browsing - inspite of claims of bad battery life!
I think it's because of amazing speeds we get with Snapdragon?!
I presume we use Opera/SkyFire/IE - any other browsers you think can work better on TG01?
Hello Everyone!
I am writing this post in most of my threads so that everyone is well informed. I am not sure if you will get annoyed to see the identical post in more than 1 thread. The only reason being, I want everyone who visits particular thread to know that I am going to be a rare visitor on TG01 forums from now.
As you might all know, I went on 3 weeks holiday (it was AWESOME!) only to find out that Orange had sent me a letter confirming that I should F***O** and they won’t be interested in either paying repair costs/ offering replacement handset/ offer any sort of money back for the malfunctioning TG01(s) (6 replacements to be precise) they have supplied me since January 2011! Since last 5 months, I wasn’t able to develop or help with roms/themes as I din’t trust my phone’s behaviour (it froze randomly making hard to know if it’s rom/theme doing it or actual phone). However, I have tried my best to help out in forum and also with beta tests.
My TG01 is now officially in coma. It doesn’t last more than 5 minutes without restarting. This has annoyed the piss out of me and I was helpless financially. However, I have managed to sell this TG01 for spare along with few old WinMos and Symbian phone to get me enough money to buy a brand new San Francisco (the cheapest option out there for smart phone at the moment!)
So, to keep the story short, all these threads, might not see any help at all from me in terms of development. I will still be willing to help anyone and everyone (whatever can be done without a TG01). If anyone would want to use any of my work so far – please feel free to PM me and I will happily share ROMs/THEMES/files etc that will help you to carry on the projects further.
It’s been absolute charm being a part of this forum and will miss it! I will be around in San Francisco forums anyway, so drop me a PM if you ever think of me
Long live TG01 and WinMos
(already saving up to buy new WP7!)
EVC4 Development System
I use the TG01 as a software development platform for a GPS application - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117192
I'm still using EVC4 as it's simple, effective and free. More modern tools are too complicated for my simple mind, and seem to produce enormous slow applications.
I had to produce my own SDK using Platform Builder, but now find this works on most ARM devices; although it grizzles a bit, it gives full source-level debugging. It does mean I have to use XP for development - has anyone got EVC4 to run under Vista or Win7?
I like the TG01 as it's fast and has a big screen. I think it's virtually unusable as a mobile phone.
Whenever my automated system finds an Android App Review online it sends an email to the developer telling the link to the review.
Each day I get between 5 - 10 thank you mails from both large app companies and indie developers, which I guess is a good indicator that it's a great tool in order to be able to take advantage of the review in their marketing. (I know how hard it is to be seen with a good app)
The question is, how do I monetize that service?
You have to pardon me if I sound desperate, but I actually am desperate and starting to worry about my ability to provide for my family.
Do you have an idea on how I could either monetize the service, or give it away to someone who can actually afford running it?
There are three main problems with it:
- Donations doesn't work (noone evidently donates anyway, so that went down the drain)
- Advertising, might have worked but there are far too few visitors.
- Most dev's have an invalid email address specified for their account at google play, which makes them not receive the notice from the service,
They can however subscribe for reviews of a certain package name, but how the heck could they when they don't even know the service exists?
I feel so stupid for having these great ideas and realize them, just to later find out that the only thing I've gained is more time away from my kids. I am honestly starting to loose all energy for the creation process of apps, web sites and services, just due to the fact that I can't even reach out enough to make anything out of it. And I can't afford advertising the services/apps/whatever crap I've made. Which even might be an indicator that I should stop trying, but I can't really do that either since I struggle to even afford the food for the month, yeah it's gotten that bad, and I hate sounding this pathetic.
Anyway, the link is in my sig called something like 'Android App Reviews' if you wish to have a look in order to give feedback on my question.
Maybe it's just a bad day 'cause I'm not usually this whiny, but even on a good day, the question stands.
Ah.. whatever. You have a good idea, let me know.

very nice idea, perhaps most of your emails mistakenly get weeded out as SPAM. I have an APP published on Google Play with our company gmail address there, but in more than one ocasion we had people trying to contact us and those emails got to the SPAM folder automaticly by mistake and we never saw them.

Thanks, actually I was very glad myself when I got an email from my own service once, so yeah I think it's a great idea also.
So yes, one problem is, as you mention that most emails probably ends up marked as spam.
The other problem is money, it's running in a very low priced environment and actually doesn't require much juice to run but I can't afford maintaining it if it doesn't generate enough income to even support itself.
I would consider running it for nothing and I could even spend some personal money just for the satisfaction and appreciation, but given the gravity of the current financial situation in my family I can't do that.
So let's just see what happens, and thanks for taking the time to read.
Cheers
have you tried selling it? For about how much would you be willing to sell it? As i said the idea is pretty awesome and you got it pretty much nailed down. Perhaps with a few tweaks to the search algorithm it could be the next Google for Apps!

- Actually, no I haven't tried selling it yet as I don't have any experience selling these kinds of things, and don't really know where to turn.. So I haven't really thought of for how much I should sell it for,
what do you think something like this could be worth?
Thanks again
Actually i have no idea loool
I would buy it if I had the means.
The value of it probably based on how many views does your site has per day, how many apps does it have categorized, how many it crawls per day... idk.
For example i tried searching it and it seems to have few apps catalogued... my app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rtt3ch.suecaonline) isn't there.
EDIT: About how much do you spend on it a month? If it's not much and you're willing to give it away because can't afford it I wouldn't mind getting it lol, i think i can keep it alive.
If you want to generate income from your site, you have to run your site like a business. The ideas you have in your first post are too linear, especially for a small website with limited exposure (i'm sure you'll know ). Websites and youtube channels grow in exposure and size exponentially. Your site is still in the growth state of a business life cycle (the slowest, most challenging phase of business), so it's best to get as much exposure as possible, which means expanding.
- Try to create some sort of quasi-partnerships with other sites by sharing content or linking to each other. I've noticed you have some links on the side of your site, but try to get in contact with 'bigger names' out there
- Create a youtube channel and start reviewing apps like that. That way you have another avenue of traffic to your site
- Reviews of products may also be an idea.
Hope this helps It's what I can remember from business studies classes >.<
sup MetalDroid, any news?
I'd go with what SammiSaysHello said, you need to run it like a business. Personally I'd make the homepage look more like a professional a sales page and introduce a subscription fee if you want to use it for more then one app. Or even a one time fee for more then one app. I end up logging onto my developer console several times a day so I'd gladly pay a couple bucks a month to have the reviews sent straight to my inbox.. Just my two cents
Hey!
Sorry for not posting an update, I've been having the mother of all flues on and off for the past several weeks now!

Well, actually yes. The associated twitter account is growing, and the number of web page visitors is also increasing. Very slowly but I'm still positive about it. I've also, shockingly, had a few interesting partnership/business proposals drop down in my mailbox, so I'm gonna have a look to see what is offered there..

You're right, that seems like a logical next step. I might add a low subscription fee if you wish to use for more than one app,
that seems like a very good suggestion, I'll have to wait a couple of days though to see how things turn out from some of the email proposals
I've had.
If you're interested I'll keep you updated on what happens, and I'm very grateful for your input,
Cheers
