Suggest an App - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I figured with all the DEV's in one spot I would start a thread were people just suggest what apps they would like created. Sorry if this has already been done but I didn't find anything in my searches. So any ideas as to apps that you would like to see? Or apps that you want upgraded with certain features?
Like an app that automagicly imputs what song you are listening to into your text signatures. (Not my suggestion, simply an example.)

I'm sure this will sound odd but, how about something along the lines of whats called an EVPmaker like this
Seeing an app with the basic features of this program, using the Speakjet allophones sound file built in, tying it to the phones voice recorder and forcing it into airplane mode could be an interesting experiment.
I have seen discussions about how you should not be using a cell phone as a "ghost hunting tool" however it's an idea for those times when something goes BUMP in the night and all you have is your phone.

That's my docking station I use d
for my defy. (That's the 1st one that broke on me in the back. She's a good back up battery charger. But as u see I need to have my defy upside down to plug it to the speaker. Which I do but no app can fully rotate my music player completely upside for me. So I don't have to.flip it all the time to read whats on pandora or a text comes in. If I hand any skill/know how I would make that app for myself and share

I was actually thinking of coding an Android app like EVPmaker, but first I have to teach myself Android programming. Meanwhile you can try "ITC Ghost Talker" which is a Flash applet and runs in any (mobile) browser.

Moving to Q&A

i would like to see an alarm app that would allow you to set alarms (not alerts but a full blown alarm) based on calender events because of my college scheduled i have to set 3 alarms for the week and when i have a day off i normally either forget to turn it off a get woken up early on my day off or turn it off and forget to turn it back on. So since my schedule is in my calender it be nice to just set it based on that and not have to worry about turning then alarms off and back on

[Recommendation] "Shush! Ringer Restorer" app to time silence mode

I highly recommend this awesome free app to all users. Basically what it does is that if you mute your ringer or press VOL- all the way. The "shush!" app triggers itself for you to set a time before the ringer is auto-restored.
Great layout and easy to control. I used to forget my mobile on silent in my pocket and miss important calls. But now with this gem I estimate how long I need the mobile to be silent and all done slick and easy.
The timer can be controlled using the VOL buttons or by touching the circle in rotation motion.

same here. one of the first free apps I re-download after a format.
Agreed, Shush is awesome! Have you tried Silent Time? Its another good one. You tell it what times you want the phone to be silent (work, school) and you dont have to remember to silence or restore, its done automatically. And you can set exceptions if there is someone you want to be able to get hold of you.

[Q] How to fix roms cutting off part of applications on screen?

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..

[Q] Toggle Notifications by Time Automatically

I was going to write an app and make a million dollars because I can't find an app that I need. I think others would buy it. But I checked out the Android programming videos parts 1 and 2. I think I'll let someone else make the million dollars. Lol :crosseyes:
It may exist, but I can't find it.....
What I would like to find us an app that will let me toggle notifications on and off by time and day automatically.
It should be able to toggle email, by account, and sms.
Scenario: I have 4 email accounts. I want to be able to set when my email account checks email and notifies me. I want to shut off awork email after work hours and have it turn back on at a specific time in the morning.
I want to turn off my other emails and sms notifications at bedtime and turn back on in the morning.
But I still want the phone to be able to ring and the alarm to work throughout the night in case of emergency calls and so I can get up in the morning.
It would be preferable that the email and sms be able to be turned completely off so there wouldn't be anything showing up in notification bar until it turned back on in the morning instead of merely turning off the sound for those.
But at this point I would love just to be able to toggle sound notification by email account and sms.
If anyone knows of an app that does this please post it here.
If a dev would like to tackle it, please pm me just so I know. It would be fun to follow development and beta test. And I would let you keep some of the million dollars it will make. Lol
EDIT: It should be customizable by day of week as well. Ie. I could leave work email off during weekend but have others working. I also think students would like to be able to customize for MWF and TT settings.
I am on 2.3.4
Gmail app should be included too
My sensce email stock app has scheduals for peak and off peak. Off peak I have sync off and u can pic hours etc.

I guess I should say what I am using. Right now I have a moto droid x using the Motorola universal inbox for email and then the gmail app for my gmail accounts. Handcent for sms.

[Solved] Tweak to keep watch always silhouette until tap?

Hi,
I got this watch used, arrived two days ago. I like it so far. Only tweaks done so far is unlock BL.
I want to preserve the battery life as much as possible though, while keeping it usable. So I think there is efficiency to be made by having the watch face stay as a silhouette instead of "waking up" whenever I look at it. To activate the watch, I have no problem with tapping it once or twice.
Does such a tweak exist? I could not find it in settings (only to turn screen off completely when inactive). Any prerequisites for such a tweak (e.g. root)?
Many thanks.
Are you on 5.1.1 (LCA43)? If yes, you can try disabling wrist gestures in watch settings. Of course, you won't be able to move trough cards as well if you disable it, but it will prevent the screen to leave dim mode when you move your wrist.

I tried that before (am on LCA43), but it seems to just disable the scroll. Just tried again, may have made a difference this time. Though it looks like the screen still activates 1 out of the 5 times I put the watch to my face. We shall see. Thanks!
You're correct, my bad! The setting you want is in the Android Wear app: Tilt to wake screen. You may want to keep wrist gestures on.

Found it! The guide I found had the setting on the main page. I had to tap on the actual device listing to get to the sub page with all the goodies (Google probably did it that way so you can program different actions for different watches).
Thanks again!
By the way, one day later with no charge in between. I am proud of this:

Just Got My S9 Plus - A Couple Of Questions

Hi everyone,
I've just moved from my trusty LG G6 to a new SAmsung S9 Plus UK version (Exynos 9810) and so far I'm pretty happy, love the screen, the responsiveness and it's a lovely looking phone although slippery as a fish without a case, managed to find a good case/screen protector combo but took a while. Have gone for the Whitestone Doma which is an awesome screen protector but was really frustrated to get bubbles in the glue which shouldn't happen..
Anyway Its only really day 3 or 4 and I realise things may change in time but have some observations and wondered if anyone here could help please.
1) Standby drain, seems like many people have this so have downloaded Package Disabler Pro for Samsung and I am experimenting but its not anywhere near as good as my G6 at the moment. Guess this is trial and error but have already disabled much of the Samsung stuff, I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to system packages though as you never know if its going to mess things up completely.
2) On both the AOD and in the android shutter if I get 2 notifications from an app, they both show separately, I have a Xiaomi camera and if I get more than one alert of movement all notifications are separate and I wanted to know how to nest them so it only showed me once that I had notification for that app.. (hope that makes sense) cant find any way to do this. This isn't the problem of double notifications as I've seen but I hope you get what I mean.
3) LG has a built in service called Smart Settings which basically says things like if you go out of your current location turn Wi-fi off , when you get back into your location turn wifi on, if you start this app, turn on bluetooth, if you plug in headphones start this app.. etc..
It appears theres nothing like that on Samsung so could anyone recommend a 3rd part app that may help me achieve this as I miss it.
4) Does anyone know if S9 Plus will get 8.1? or will it go straight to P..
5) Forgot to add, I have a different photo viewer installed, I use F-Stop but for some reason in the camera app when you take a picture and press the gallery button it always defaults to the Samsung gallery app. Does anyone know how this can be changed please?
Thanks for listening guys, any help appreciated.
Wayne
1. Give it a couple of weeks for the system to settle. Just use it as it is without disabling any apps.
2. I don't know if you can do that system wide. I know some apps have that option.
3. Try LLama
4. No idea
5. Open settings and search for "default"
There you should be able to set default apps
I've provided a screenshot so you can see how it looks like
Hope it helps
