Hey Y'all
My friend has a great App on her iPhone (spit spit) called Shift Worker, that you can organize all your shift patterns.
Then you can see at a glance what shift your on on what day.
I can't find anything like it for my Desire.
Anybody seen anything?
Cheers

Hey o4kareg
Cheers for the links.
I'll start with the first on your list & work my way down.
Many thanks

Hey o4kareg
None of the above programs really caters for shift workers.
They are more of a too do list.
I have seen an App called Shift Callendar.
This caters for people that do shift work.
Thats more the sort of thing I'm after.
Thanks for your help

OK scrap the one above.
There's a better one called Firehouse Scheduler.
But at $5.99, I think they can wait as I won't pay that money for a program that may not quite fit the bill.
I'd want to try it out first.
Thanks for your help o4kareg.

Erm, would you not just use Google Calendar and maybe recurring events? I made a separate calendar (I have 3 in all) called 'rota'...
Hey Andy
I was hoping to use something that catered specifically for shifts.
Its a bit hard to explain, but basically although the shifts are either AM shifts, PM Shifts or Nights.
Each daily job on either of the above shifts, can start or finish at a diferent time.
We have about 40 AM jobs, 40 PM jobs & 40 Night jobs.
One AM Job might start at 05.00 in the morning & finish at 2pm, the next day's AM job might start at 06.30 till 3.30pm
So a week of AM jobs might all be starting at diferent times of the Morning & finishing at diferent times of the Afternoon.
(have I explained that ok?)
So its not enough just to know that I am on AM's next week at a glance, i really want to know also that I am on at 6.00am & finished 3pm.
I think a dedicated App, may have shortcuts to be a able to configure this rather than just feed it all in to a calendar, else I could probably do that with the standard Calendar that comes with the HTC?
I'm probably asking too much.
I know that my old XDA II, had a terrific organiser, that I used a lot.
At the mo I use a Filofax & write in all my jobs for the next 6 months.
I was thinking about an app that I could feed in all the diferent job start & finish times. (each job is numbered) So if I tell the App that I am on job no. 122, on the 22nd June, 31st July & the 18th of Nov.. it will fill in the start & end times for me on the aproppriate dates.

the app "My Work Schedule" does this, but I think it is not very good, it has no widget for example.
I am planning to make a new app for it, my wife also works in shifts.
all-and-all it will be a simple app:
- define your shifts
- fill your schedule with the shift (name, start, stop)
- show a list of your future shifts (day, date, shift)
- widget showing next 10 shifts/days.
(optionally export to the normal Calendar)
Sounds great!
Let me know when you've got the App, up n Running.
Regards
E
This Would Be Awesome
This is about the best that Android has to offer at the moment... works quite well.... takes ages to setup, but once you have added the pattern you see your shifts on any of the calendar apps (I then use Jorte to display these).
amy more news on a shift worker app for droid ??
Still the best for Android http://www.streim.de/quickaddroid/
Shift Worker by Taul Apps works great. It's not fancy, but it is very simple to setup and use. You can put 4 schedules in it and it will show you what time you are off together.
Just type "taul" in google play and it will come up.
Shift Schedule
Also you can try Shift Schedule - it is my first application for Android. It is absolutely free, and without ads. You can find it on Goolge Play, and also on application site. Version on the site can be more fresh.
i need one a bit like uk rota in the ios camp. being a train driver i never do the same shift twice in a week.
i have varible start and finsh times thoughout the week, and would also like to enter my duties (ie what time i pick a train up - this would save me having to rely on my duty books) into the app.
and most off all i would like it to sync with google calender so my wife and friends know when im going to be off.
everything ive seen so far in the market comes up short.
cheers
Try "FlexR", I have many bus drivers among my users, they have the same problem.
Google Calendar sync is in beta now, ready in a few days.

Looks like the new Trillian IM client is now available and is open beta. It has a expiration date until the end of the beta. Wanted to give you guys a heads up if anybody else was interested in this multi-IM client.

I tried it, it is not very good. I prefer ebuddy or IM+
On the contrary, it's a very solid app. Then again, I am unsure of your expectations for this app.
I love the app unfortunately after opening and having one conversation it refused to open any new conversations.
Thanks for the heads up. I always loved trillian on my pc.
I find it frustrating that this app doesn't tell me why aol won't sign in. is it my password, is it the network, wtf? Doesn't even give me a sign in failed alert. Im+ is the same way. It's been a while since I used im where I'm not auto-signed in and figuring out all my passwords is gonna take some work. Clearly these apps are not gonna make it easy.
Yeah. I had a really weird problem that it didn't log in, i had to close it THEN when I finally got in.. I couldn't even send a IM to anybody, and when I logged onto another s/n attempting to message myself, it never went thru unless I signed out and resigned back in.
The interface does look pretty nice though, definitely needs some working but this is a Beta so i didn't have expectations that it would be bug-free. Most definitely going to give Trillian another go when the next beta build is released.
One of the big perks with using Trillian for Android is it's integration with the desktop client. When you change something on your computer (add a friend, change a name, change a user group, etc.) it is automatically updated on the Android client. Also, they are adding synchronized logging to an upcoming build. That means the conversations you have while you are mobile will be transferred to the desktop client and all versions (Windows, Mac, iPhone, Blackberry, Android) will live in harmony without having your logs scattered all over the place.
The bigger bugs like connection issues, message sending issues and crashes will be hammered out pretty quickly so it should be much more stable in the very near future. If you do experience a crash you should be given the opportunity to send a log to the developers (please use it!). If you have a stomach for Bugzilla you can report the bugs and feature requests directly:

Pass: beta
On a side note... The Voice To Text option in conjunction with Trillian is pretty awesome. I was amazed at how fast and accurate Android's VTT is. It was even accurate while driving on the highway with a lot of background noise.
I HATE mini apps on my Galaxy Tab 10.1...
That feature alone is enough to make me want to return the device.
Seriously? Why would Samsung want to decide for me my what apps I want at my finger tips? Then not only that, they use their own cheesy versions of available apps. I have already found the solutions I want to use through my Android phone. I want to carry over the same apps to the tab so that my experience is a little less fragmented.
The "mini apps" constantly get in the way. I'm brushing against the bottom bar causing the apps to pop up... none of which I ever use, completely unintentionally. Annoying! If I could only decide what apps showed up!
Total pain in the REAR!
Then Samsung loads on a bunch of unnecessary software. I HATE having 5 apps that do exactly the same thing on my device... The abundance of music players is asinine. Having three book programs (none of which you can remove) is stoopid.
Why can't you get a piece of hardware without the software all screwed up by the vendor these days?
Why is root necessary every time I put my hands on an Android device to make it useful?
Why can't I purchase an Android product with a Google backed Vanilla version of the current OS installed?
Why?
Why?
Why?
I'm so pissed that this $600 tablet requires an additional 15 dollars in apps and a good 6-12 (or more) hours of set-up time and research to get it properly rooted and operating the way I like it.
Sorry... that made me feel so much better.
Maybe an ipad would have been a better choice for you. I like tinkering with my toys so I chose the tab.
I HATE mini apps on my Galaxy Tab 10.1... do YOU?

I may have opened the mini apps tray 3-4 times unintentionally (in the 10 weeks I have the tablet) and I use the "calculator" mini app quite regularly. So no, they don't bother me but I wouldn't miss them if they were gone either.

Them there are fighting words...
I enjoy tinkering as well. I have loved customizing my original Incredible and now Incredible 2. They have an excellent following with a lot of very reputable ROM "artists". However, their original UI wasn't that bad to start with. And with the CM nighties, my phone is near perfect.
With the Galaxy Tab 10.1, my initial experience (3 days) I have found it to be laggy and glitchy, which I was shocked about. I want this tab to work for me, but it seems that I'm trying awful hard to make this work. I think it's the fact that my phone is setup so well and runs so well... I figured the tablet would be so much better. I set my expectations high, only to be disappointed so far.
I have rooted and removed a bunch of unnecessary apps, but haven't figured out how to remove that dam mini app bar. As far as custom ROM's go... I haven't loaded any since I am still trying to figure which has the best reputation for stability and speed.
I am trying to figure out something, other wise by Thursday this thing is headed back to Best Buy. Sad thing is... I don't want an apple device, but if that's what is comes to, then I will retire my Android phone as well to keep everything streamlined. Sucks!

I use Real Calc regularly, a donate (paid) app which can handle higher level math functions. I wish I could just substitute it in place of the basic Samsung/Android version.
Agree with you, mini-apps are boring me every time i wanna play a fullscreen game, like "fruit ninja thd"... This "rolling dock" is not a great feature.

Actually, the reason most of us choose Android is that we aren't forced into "one man's vision" and have the ability to choose for ourself. The mini-app bar forces us into one company's vision. I have to agree with the OP about this.
We should at least have the ability to turn it off.
Meh...it's there, it's unobtrusive, and at least my experience with it is that I really have to try to get it to come up when I want it. Have never accidentally brought it up. Sometimes the calc and the memo pad are useful.
Can't see why people hate it so much.

I actually don't mind having mini app tray. I use task manager, calculater and memo pad for taking notes from web regularly. The only thing I don't like is accidentally hitting the screenshot button. But I totally agree with the original post. An option to turn it off would be nice.
Personally I like them. Two of them I use on a daily basis. Most of the others occasionally.

Really not a massive fan of them being there tbh, but I don't accidentally press the button (not like the screenshot one...grr!) and I don't use the apps in it. I just ignore it and get on my way.
If there was an option of getting rid of it though, I would.
I found this thread while searching for a way to at least configure this menu bar... unfortunately it looks like the whole thing is embedded in the ROM and the only way to hide it is to patch the ROM and/or completely replace it (thanks for the links in the thread).
I fully agree with the OP on a lot of his rant. This is an awesome peice of hardware that comes out of the box with some insanely bad software. I'm still deciding on what launcher to replace the stock version with, but so far both Go and Launcher Pro are tons faster, more configurable, and better looking than the laggy default version that doesn't even let you use the full display.
The status bar menu is kind of a nice idea, but the execution is terrible. If I could configure what apps and quick commands I wanted on the menu and easily hide it, it would be a great feature.
But as it is, the choices of what to put there seem really bizarre. I can't for the life of me figure out why "screen shot" was deemed important enough for most users to justify space on an "always on" menu. I have to routinely go delete unwanted screenshots taken by accidentally brushing that menu option.
The choices of what to put on the quick launch app menu are even worse. Holding the "home" button on the main menu for a couple seconds pops up the task manager so why do I need a whole other button dedicated to pulling up this app? The world clock is just plain terrible compared to other clock apps. The calander is alright, but there are better widgets out there that serve the purpose better than a quick launch menu. The memo and calculator are again terrible and need to be replaced by 3rd party apps so you should be able to replace them on this menu too. The music player is the only one of the apps that serves my purposes, but again there are better 3rd party apps and you should be able to configure what is on a system wide quick launch bar.
From the perspective of an average consumer the out-of-box experience is fairly poor due to the OEM software rather than the hardware or system software. It should be easy for a user to fix this with simple market based apps and configuration options rather than having to apply warantee voiding ROM patches and rooting the OS. Allowing OEM's to "lock" bad software is a really bad policy. If an OEM wants me to use their software, they should develop or license best in class versions of those apps rather than locking the software on the system and forcing me to root the system to get rid of poor quality software.
You can disable all of these functions with some XML editing if it really annoys you that much
I'd happily do all these changes for you for a little donation of just a couple of quid
Try one of the sweet new cm9 kangs, I'm on the 7500 version. So much better then tw honeycomb.
I Agree!!
hate it so much, but now on overcome rom,
its at least slightly less annoying. just ever so SLIGHTLY.
at least in this rom, a swipe upward wont activate it.
wont disturb me during fruit ninja.
but still sometimes press it when i wana press spacebar.
stupid piece of crap tray.
the motorola xoom already has ICS.
samsung will be the slowest tab to get it cos of this touch widz.
Sometimes i feel sorry for samsung.
i have a hunch there is some kind of conspiracy goin on at the back,
where google force manufacturers to implement their own skin. (why else would samsung waste effort to make rubbish that people dont want?)
and google can sell their overprice nexus device to make money.
just imagine, if samsung can sell or upgrade the galaxy S2 and note with the pure and stock vanilla android, and upgrade them to ICS without touch widz, would anyone buy galaxy nexus?
nexus has lausy hardware. last gen GPU and horrible camera. (not due to the 5MP, but generally a weak camera compare to S2 and note)
Luv'em why we have android
Pop up windows that are independent of screen, getting closer to desktop experience. I would like to swap some out but overall, (calc, note, calendar, calculator, & music player) work great. Allow true multitasking.
I just installed OverSkreen which gives me a windowed web browser on top of screen. I really like them.

Copy of the info:
Whether you’re looking for directions, checking email or sharing a picture with friends, apps are now an indispensable part of life. And if you’re using Android, it all starts with Google Play, home to 675,000 apps and games. That’s a lot of choice. We’ve now crossed 25 billion downloads from Google Play, and to celebrate we’re offering some great discounts for the next five days.
Every day you’ll be able to choose from a collection of apps from some of the world’s top developers including Gameloft, Electronic Arts, Rovio, runtastic, Full Fat and more. And all for just 25 cents. We’ll also be offering some special collections like 25 movies you must own, 25 banned books, 25 albums that changed the world and our 25 top selling magazines, all at special prices. Visit Google Play a little later today to check them out.
Twenty-five billion is more than twice the distance, in miles, that the Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled since its launch 35 years ago. It’s the amount of time, in minutes, that have passed since some of our earliest ancestors began to set foot in Europe. And now, thanks to all of you, it’s a Google Play milestone. We look forward to the next 25 billion.

great app prices, but someone needs to work on the carrier billing option...
For at&t..i called them and they had no answers. when i tried carrier billing, first i got an error asking me to try again. dozens of tries and various cache and data clears and soft resets later, still nothing and it took away option to choose carrier billing at all! apparently this is a problem that google, google search, xda forum search, at&t or anyone hasn't an answer for. last resort i will try uninstalling google play updates, then try carrier billing, then reinstall updates with one more try. i am running the original ics upgrade from at&t on my rooted galaxy note...anyone out there have any suggestions? all i want is the sbmx app for a quarter! i have a debit card but i dont think i even have 25¢ on it right now! thanks....

[Lady]: "How do you carry that huge phone in your pocket?"

Hey there guys, I have a question first and foremost.
If an app updates daily, is there any way to make an app still be able to be updated online daily, while also having the functions to work while you are offline?
There are many people that travel, and don't have internet or phone service while they are commuting or waiting for someone or something, relaxing at home, at a campground in the wilderness, or underground in the subway, or maybe even up high on a mountain.
If there is a way to make this work, I would like to know what you guys and gals would suggest on what to do to get this started.
Some of the requirements of my hypothetical project would be as follows;
Needs to retain the Daily Update Feature so that the app can withdraw from the Happy Colour Server.
Has to have some working code workaround where a certain allotment of storage space can be used to store the app data (including the scrolling and entering the Picture that you want to color and complete) on a device.
(Currently, you can scroll the app for a little while and the coloring options will appear, but when clicking on a selection, it is not able to load.
That's pretty much the jist of it.. if you guys can give me suggestions or even remark on if this can be done, that would be great. I know that it would take some work, but if it seems like its plausible, we can see where this thing goes as a team and maybe make it a paid project really depends on how much work would need to be done.
Thanks to those of you that have read this and really looking forward to hearing your ideas and thoughts.
