Hello,
I would like to make a request/suggestion.
Could someone develop a "copy" command in the menu shown on phone so that we could copy the phone number and use it (paste) later on in an application like word, excel, calendar, etc ??
thanks in advance
ps. i have asked that a year ago so i think it has passed a reasonable amount of time, because i don't want to be annoying.
Hy everyone,
I've tried searching the forums for a solution but no luck..
Is there any way to save a number while having a conversation?
if i select the "keypad" during a call, and write down a number, there isn't a "save to contacts" option or anything similar to that..
i've fiddled around a bit and the only thing remotely similar to what i need is only an option to save a note during the call, but that is absolutely ridiculous, why would i want to save a note and then go and retrieve it.. i just want to save a contact while talking...
I take it that the phone number you want to save to contacts is different to the telephone call you are currently connected to.
Why not, while on a call, press the Home button, then select the Contacts tab, then select New Contact. You can then write the number in the new contact, along with other details.
hey fred_up thanks for the reply!
actually i did thought of that right after i posted the question, but i just think it's sad that we need to perfotm so many actions in order to do such a simple task... one i used to do once without even taking the phone away from my ear... (and no - i'm not complaining about my hd2, i love it despite its little flaws).
A very handy bit of software is called AutoLoudspeaker - if you do a search, you'll find it on this site. As soon as you take the phone away from your ear (ie the screen lights up via the proximity sensors) the phone goes automatically into loudspeaker mode. That'll take one step out of the process.
No doubt some clever clogs will develop some registry edit that means a long press of the Windows button will open up a new contact page.
Yeh i'm aware of that option, and i use it sometimes when at home, doing the coocking or dishes when the GF is out or while playing pc games but it doesnt really meet my needs when i need to remember a nuber for just a second after i hang up..

Now THAT WOULD BE GENIOUSLY AWESOME!
or maybe even a little app, that is called "numbers" for that matter, which can be located on the home tab and when opening it you'll get a numpad and a screen, and would be able to save numbers in a big font, only numbers, nothing else, the numbers will stay on the screen untill you decide to delete them.
unlike the notepad which saves the notes in a file you need to open, and which is not so finger friendly when coming to fast numbering..
food for thought
maybe i'll just forward the idea to a new app request

may be you can put in a quicklink for 'calculator' on home screen..
I have one, but for that matter - you cannot save numbers you type in the calc, they just vanish once the app is closed, and also - i don't like using things for a purpose they were not meant for, it feels a little stupid..
use panaromic calculator, pressing the x only minimises the program
Hey guys! Does anyone know of a widget or app (preferably an app) that will display ONLY a specific SUBSET of images/photos?
Most gallery apps, when opened, will go to a directory of image sets/folders which you can then open from there. I am looking for an app that will NOT give that option, but instead will ONLY display the 1-100 (actually I only want to display about 10) specific images/photos that I choose ahead of time.
Also, ideally, I would be able to have multiple instances with separate links/widgets that will each point to their own specific closed gallery.
Let me know of you've come across anything like that.
Thanks!

So basically what your saying is....
When you open Gallery, it shows folders X, Y, and Z.
What you want is an app that, when pressed, opens ONLY folder Y with no option to open X or Z. And be able to change it yourself so when you open that app, it shows folder Z without the option to view folder X and Y.
Correct?
A possible idea to make it so YOU can change what folder it opens but others can't would be....
It automatically opens a folder, "PicturesApp" by default. And the way you would change it is to go into something like Root Explorer, find the folder that you want to show pictures within, and rename that folder to "PicturesApp". So when you open the app, it looks for a folder called PicturesApp and opens that.
That sounds awesome. I'll give that a try.
I'm also considering building either html5 galleries hosted on my web domain, or maybe flash files that will open when clicked, but I will try your method first. Thanks!
Anyone have any other ideas?
I've been searching for a while now to a solution to my question without any progress...so here goes.
I have an application I use at work for 'paging' but I only receive said pages if I'm 'on duty'. Changing duty status requires an internet connection because that's the way the developers want it... That's fine.. so manipulating the database is out of the question. I can run a macro to do keypresses to change shift status but it's only if I'm not actively using my phone and is sometimes quirky. I want to be able to do that from a command line if possible.. So is this possible? What would I need to execute? I've looked at logs but I'm not an android programmer so I have no clue. I can pin down the log entry that shows me pressing menu selections but I want to do that without any interaction..
so guess what I 'm asking is,
Is this possible?
What do I need to look for?
Thanks, in advance
Not sure if this this the right place to ask, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for an app that will either "mascaraed" as a camera, or maybe some sort of feature that can be enabled or whatnot that will allow me to select a jpg file and pass it to the initiating app. For example, when I want to change my profile picture, some apps automatically start the camera app and won't let you just select a file. I want to force the option to select a file. Anyone know of anything like this? It would be awesome if this bypass could feed whatever image into whatever api or driver or however apps obtain camera data. I'm thinking something that can even slip a file into apps that have their own camera utility for capturing photos.
