Could someone make an app that would enable me to use my TP2 as a stud finder? Sure would make hanging pictures handy...
Thanks.
SouthernAtHeart
yeah...that's kinda ridiculous
I'd actually suggest a geiger counter first. It would be far more useful
Nice
LOL With use of the G sensor, you sure could make it LOOK like it was working: move it left a bit, and at some point it "senses" a stud, then as the person moves it back and forth to confirm, the "sensor" would go up and down.
Awesome
Use Google Maps and sign up for Latitude, then add me as a contact. You can then find me wherever I am. I'm a stud.
There is a Metal Detector app which actually works, i have used it to find metal studs in the wall.
It in the HD2 forum section a simple search will point you in that direction.
As for a timber stud finder i would also like to know if there every was one.

The only reason that works is because the HD2 has an internal digital compass. It won't do anything on a TP2.

Hi All,
recently i was shown some web sites that you can "real time" check traffic cameras.
would it be possible to make an app that can take your location and possibly link to the cameras that are on your immediate journey.
i.e. check how much longer you may be stuck in the traffic.
i could then decide whether i should come of the next available junction or sit it out ( especially in this traffic stopping weather)
if you need me to explain more let me know.
thanks in advance

I think that's a really fantastic idea, but I think it would be slightly illegal, unless of course your passenger was to use it.
thanks for the encouragemtn john.
of course i understand the legal ramifications. my idea was when you are jammed up and tearing your hair out because you have moved 5 metres in an hour.

Yeah, that sounds great! My biggest beef with my current satnav (CoPilot - don't know about any others) is that it won't tell me that there's a 5 mile tailback ahead and will let me pass an exit of the motorway and find out myself.
Nice idea mate - I hope someone with the relevant skills to do it agrees!
ha ha dude. i have co pilot too version 6.
tbh i dont really understand the live traffic thing more to the point i dont really know whether to trust it.
Look for an app called CamerAware. It works with the GPS radio.

I looked at this - it warns about "safety" cameras - I think what the original poster was after was an app to warn about delays rather than speed traps.

I have this feature via Weather Panel. If you check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781 you'll see it in the screenshots or a youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Jx_brSqfY
I have many of the cameras set up in the radars for routes I always use (in the UK here so all down the M6 & M1). This thread will show you how to set up the cameras http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2416705&postcount=95
Via the application M2D Today Page I have this running from M2D......
Hope this helps.
Ps. A stand alone application would be useful, but it couldn't use GEO Services etc for current location, as you are more likely to want to check where you are going, not where you are now! Linking it to a satnav application or a route planning website would be tough, as I don't know what location details are provided with the list of available cameras.... Although I'm sure there is some genius on here that could work it out!
Anyone tried Waze?
I just heard about Waze, which seems fairly new - especially outside the US - but seems to offer much of what the original post asked for.
Anyone tried it?

Yes, it totally works. Just like all of the ghost shows on TV. You just have to use it right.
Turn off all of the lights
Turn on IR mode on your video camera
Yell "What the f* was that?" every 30s
Wait for the cat to run by
Yell "Did you see that?!" 5 times
Profit
thanks
thankz.............
just to bump this thread and bring it back to life (pun in there somewhere), Ghost Radar is the app of the day today
I'm not big on paranormal stuff, but more-so interested in what the app is *actually* doing in the background-- especially the method it uses to choose it's words-- what it's listening for, how it interprets information.. etc
Anyone know? I'm not looking to expose any controversies and contradict anyone's experiences with the app.. just being curious It's clearly a well made, well thought out app, and I'm sure it'll get a bump in attention now that it's free, and right around Halloween time.
Good morning all. I am taking the little one to Disney next week. Can anyone speak to whether or not Google Maps or Street View can help me navigate through the parks?
The market has one app that I see "Disney World Maps Box Set" that has very poor ratings.
Any and all helpful thoughts are welcome.
Thanx!
have you looked at this?
http://disneyparksmobile.com/mobilemagic/
EDIT, sorry apparently this isn't an option for android phones, after a little more research it seems that the app you mentioned is the only option for us
I doubt that Street View would work inside the parks, but satellite view should. Also, this mobile site is pretty useful:
http://m.disneyworld.go.com/
Honestly you don't need your phone to maneuver around the parks. Disney has everything laid out nicely and there are the old fashioned paper maps everywhere at every stand. The only thing I used my phone for was to track how many miles a day i was walking

i have been several times, my favorite place in the world and the above is true. also, one of the best parts is just roaming around looking at every thing, you will never get bored and there is always something to see.
but if you really want maps for the parks, you can try this:
xttp://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/myVacation/customizedMaps/index?id=CustomizedMapsSampleMapsPage&bhcp=1
i know its not on the phone, but you can personalize them to what you want to do and everything. take a look, they are neat.
wasn't Disney World actually offering specially modified Eris' for this purpose? I think I read an article about it somewhere...
here it is... found the article!

I guess this was just a test though... not sure if it is actually in use...
I'm looking for an app I can install on my wife's phone that is hidden so that I can see where she is or has been via cell towers or gps. Doesn't need to be real time but I need to know if she has been where I think she has been. She is pretty dumb when it comes to her phone but has never had gps enabled and would probably notice the enabled icon. I'm pretty confident she is cheating on me and just need to know for sure before I confront her. Is there such an app?
I don't need a lot of features. Basically location history. Some place called spectorsoft has something but it is $70. ANy freebies out there?
Thanks!!
Just go to Google maps and sign her up on Latitude. Latitude will tell you where she was and is. Then after that, install Dexrex on her phone and you can see any, and all, texts she sends and receives. The best part is that it's all free. Then you can use Overview (which used to be free) to do similar things. Also, if you want to catch her on your PC, just install a keylogger.
Does she have Android smartphone? If she have, you can find such apps on Market. I needed that type of app before but unfortunately, we haven't got android on all device. Google Latitude is good too.

I don't condone your method.... But, I know where you are coming from.
Tasker is an amazing app. Not any type of tracking system specifically. But you can create a set of profiles and tasks where you could do something like send a txt to her. Something like "I love you." Or "how are you" or something inconspicuous. You can then program it to, upon recieving said message, turn on GPS for 1min, get a lock on her location and txt you back her location and then shut off GPS. You can also make it so if she looks back into her chat log. It won't show that her phone automatically sent that txt with her where a bouts.
I have something similar in case my phone is ever lost/stolen. Except my setup will also lock the phone, flash the leds, the camera flash, and make a loud noise.
Or you could just sit her down and talk about it....she will appreciate you more, because if she finds the apps you install.....theirs nothing worse than denying it was you who installed them (lying to her) when you have no proof she is lying to you. Your situation is nothing that can't be sorted out by talking about it. Have you got concrete evidence she's playing away? If you don't trust her....I'd learn to and quick because lack of trust is a killer for all relationships. Don't snoop around fishing dude....talk to her!

I have teenagers, so I definitely know where your coming from. My solution is an annual subscription (I think $12 per year, no more than $19.99) is "WaveSecure" by McAfee. Which I do admit if I EVER lost my phone, it is a blessing to have! I can go to a certain locked website by McAfee and not only be able to see where my phone is (without the user knowing) but I can lock it and send a alarm with a custom message. I can even pull pics and content from it. And you can't get into it or uninstall it once its set up on phone without a 6 digit password. Its mainly used if you have you phone stolen. It even notifies me if the SIM card is removed!
Latitude also works, but you have to configure her phone, and (like my teenagers) will eventually know how to turn it off.
Damn kids get smart like that.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. I think Lookout (free) can do the same. Well, it can give you the location of the device, but it can't take pictures like WaveSecure.

Cerberus from the market. Once installed and configured, can be set to be invisible in the app drawer.
You can also record audio and take pictures remotely with it! Be sure to silence the camera first though!

I would check your local laws before doing this. I believe it is illegal. I believe there was a recent case where a husband did something similar and was held on wiretapping charges. I do believe it was key logging and not cell phone tracking.
But I hope she is not cheating on you. That is crappy to go through.

install a launcher that allows hiding of apps in the app drawer to further safe guard.
Theft aware... 7 day trial, hidden, and if she is rooted you can hide the gps icon. Location is sent via hidden sms and you can get calls and texts forwarded to your phone.

If you don't want your wife anymore, post a picture of her here. If she's not too shabby, I'll buy her off you for $5. If she looks like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle, I'll give you $2. Either way, she's better off without you.
...if you do want her, what the hell are you doing thinking this crap, let alone posting it in a public forum? You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.
I suggest you seek some professional help. You have trust issues... which makes you untrustable.
I also hope you don't have kids. You are no role model.

Why would you want to?
Has anyone gotten the thing to work where if bixby misunderstands a command, you can teach it what you actually said? I've been trying to get that to work, teaching it the same word (a contact name it keeps misspelling and then telling me that contact doesn't exist) over 30 times now and it still hasn't changed how it hears me.
unfortunately working with Samsung about this issue they have confirmed that bixby is not integrated to have the profanity block removed at this time, unlike google now or google keyboard.
My issue isnt necessarily swearing at bixby but having her type in my message the way i am saying it, sometimes you just need to tell someone to hurry the F up.
