I just found out about a barometer in some Android devices, but it doesn't look like HTC phones have a barometer. Anyone have any confirmation? Maybe the hardware is there but there are no drivers?
A barometer would typically be used to help with GPS, but is now being used to help short-term local weather forecasting with PressureNET. I'm in western WA, and anyone around here knows the local weather is difficult to predict. It would be cool to help contribute.
I am pretty sure it doesn't. What devices do have it?

Really?
+1 for what devices have a built in barometer? That seems like a really niche feature for a smartphone.
The Motorola Xoom has one. Originally it was thought it could be used with Google Maps and it would know what floor of a building you were on or so I was told.
They are usually listed as a " pressure sensor" and they are supposed to help with GPS. If I remember correctly the s3 has one.

Yeah, the Xoom and various Samsung devices have one. I was hoping that some HTC phones would possibly have the hardware but not the drivers (yet). Oh well, wishful thinking.
Galaxy nexus has one.

Having a problem getting a direct embedded picture. And the stupid browser is so old.... sorry.
Anyways, the screenshot is of temple run. Notice the "Pressure" entry -- misreported, or is it a barometer reading? Weirdness.

awesome! looks pretty nice, like a S2 but wider...
so its kinda in between an s2 and a tab 7" then? might have to invest now i sold my tab....
Cracking phone but wayyy too big for my liking, the size of the GS2 is perfect anything beyond that is just too big you may as well just buy a tablet.
I love this phone. Will buy it if the audio and yellow tint issue is not there on this one. I love the size as well as don't think it wont fit my pocket. Great combination of phone and tablet in one. And remember G2 itself is usually much more powerful than most of the tablets! If this phone has better audio, will definitely go for it.

Samsung Galaxy Note Hands-On http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254510
Hi I would like to know if anyone manage to get this (chameleon launcher) to work on their Note i1717. I tried to download the beta from the play store but says my phone isn't compatible, while I have also read that others got it to work properly. If anyone can confirm that this works and give a brief description to get it to work, it would be greatly appreciated.
PS. I just don't wanna waste $10 and not get it to work. Would like to try beforehand.

I tried it out before the really had anything for it. Maybe four widgets. I never had a chance to check the location or timer screen functions. It looked to be cool but nothing really worked yet. I took it off my girlfriends tab. She donated to kick start for it. I haven't tried it in weeks though. Maybe its gotten better. I really like the idea. I'll pull it again and give it a try and report back. I don't think you'll be able to get it from the play store though.
Edit added some screen shots from the note. Still crashed all the time on all the widgets. Just not made for it I guess.

One of the biggest benefits of Android is, and always has been, the plethora of
available software keyboards. Don't like stock? No problem - there's something
out there that will make your typing experience suck less. But what works great
on phones may not be so hot on a large-screen devices like a tablets, so there's
basically a whole subset of keyboards - or at least keyboard layouts - in that arena.
Enter a newcomer to the tablet keyboard ring: Slice. This keyboard... well, it's insane.
Just watch.
Unique? Definitely. Brain-melting? Without question. Practical? You can be the judge
of that one. There's a demo version of Slice in the Store so you can give it a shot, and
the full version will set you back a five spot if you're ready to commit. If nothing else, you
can use it to play Space Invaders.

It will all depend on how well the spell check and word prediction is. Right now i've yet to find anything that can touch swiftkey.
I watched this couple of says ago, it would certainly screw with people's heads if nothing else.

over the last couple days my onscreen keyboard has been acting flaky. I cant select so of the letters, e's are r's , s's forget about it. if I rotate the phone it works. do you think the digitizer is bad?
There is a touch screen test app in the play store that you could try, and you could also try a different keyboard and see if there are similar problems.
I hope that halped.
wow, it is screwed.there is about 1/2 inch band top to bottom that you cannot use

yeah no wp8 either *spit* looking at LG optimus. I just dont want to make a horrible mistake like my wife's HTC inspire, i really wanted to upgrade that, too bad my atrix is becoming unusable for texting
Hm, phone recommendations now? This is quite off-topic here, not to mention there are several other threads about this already...
Get a replacement digitizer with the bezel off eB!ay and search YouTube for a guide to replacing it. I've done it twice now and I'm rubbish at fixing things usually!

Wow, and I thought I liked Swiftkey. Even though all the settings don't work in this beta version--don't like haptic feedback--I can't wait until it hits the regular market place. It has improved my personal typing speed and accuracy threefold.
This keyboard is probably the most accurate one I've come across. I can purposely miss every letter and come up with the word I wanted most times. Seems there is no way to add to the dictionary though. For instance, it doesn't know the word flu. No matter how accurate you type those three letters, you won't get flu to stay put. It'll change it every time! Surely there will be a way to teach this new words in the official release, right? For now, it's back to HTC's keyboard.
Don't suppose we could get a little more info could we, and maybe a screenshot?
