thank you cqv!!

I downloaded it too. Also, I'd actually use it if it had an option for imperial measurements too e.g. lbs, ft+in.

ok.. at the upgrade i'll fix it!!!

A tip for imperial measurements: much of the world (including the US) uses "." as the decimal separator and "," as the thousands separator; that may be automatically taken care of by the phone's locale settings though. Showing three digits right of the decimal place also seems pretty weird, especially since food in the US is rounded to one place left of the decimal (i.e to the nearest 10 food calories).

Sweet find bro!!!! I have it but am getting my free version
Ok, any way to get a larger font size in contacts? I looked all through the settings and you can increase the font size for the settings screen, but nothing else. I always keep my unit on 96 dpi and contacts comes up almost too small to hit it with the stylus, or to read.
In settings, look under "meny" (I think) soft key down in the right. Here you can choose fonts

Hi Guys
I also downloaded the free version for 1 day on palminfocenter
But now I have received a $16.95 "upgrade" 1 day later to version 8 ????
This sucks
Surely if I only own the program for 1 day then the "upgrade" shopuld be free or is this another marketing ploy for us suckers
I have written to pocket informant but am still awaitibng their reply ???
Reason teed off is that this "upgrade is $16.95" my upgrades in agendus ar normally $10.00 and they never pull a stunt like this !!!

Sucks? You have now a 30 $ piece of software for free (and is the 2007 release) OR you COULD have the 2008 release with a 10$ discount, ABSOLUTELY FOR FREE!
This sucks? Welcome to the earth baby!
I will be happy to find every day someone giving for FREE 10$!!!!!
I don't see the downside of this, either. Yes, when I got the email announcing the new version just 2 days after downloading the older version my first reaction was "bait-and-switch" and I was a little angry. But that quickly went away when I started seeing things like sergiopi describes above. We got a pefectly usable piece of software for free. I'm saying "thanks" and moving on. I just wish I could make the contact font larger... (and no, its not under settings!)
Hi
I have just reinstalled Pocket informant on my X7500 because I when I used it I changed the fonts in contacts, But I can´t remember exaktly what I did.
Well here is how to do it.
1. Menu
2. Tools and settings
3. Settings
down in the right corner it says Full list, push this and you will see Basic list, fonts/colours and full list. Choose fonts/colours
Here can you changes fonts in just everything.
Regards
Hans

Sorry but the email did not state any of the above.
Thanks for the info.
PS Tried to download the "free" upgrade to ver 8 but keeps saying that it cannot find the registration in their database.
Will write to them and see what they say.
Reason why I am not very happy paying for it as I already use agendus for palm and ppc and find it fantastic $60 layout and hence was only interestedin running this one for a while to see the comparison.
Thanks for the info
Hi
Got their sites upgrade policy to work !!!
It states that if your pocket informant is purchased after 1 September 2007 then ver 8 is free.
When you go to the site checkout it charges you $16.95 ???
I am not *****ing about this in light of previous post but I do find falsness a bit hard to bear
If they want to give free versions away - your good fortune,
but then apply the policy - on the site
ver 8 free if obtained after 1 September 2007. ???!!!!????
Being a bit pedantic i know but they did offer the prgram with a 100% discount coupon - it does not invalidate all the other criteria !!!!
Hans, thank you, I finally found it with your instructions. That is so non-intuitive, especially when there is the one font adjustment in the settings section. So I expected all of them to be there. Silly me. Now I can finally use PI, yay.
mw, that page clearly says that if you got it free from one of the two freebie offers you must pay to get the next version.
If you read the owner's comments on the free give away. He did say that he was doing the free version 2007, so more people would get version 8 when it came out in a few days for half price. He was very open about the freebie and that it was a marketing thing to get more people to try pi prior to version 8 release. His comments were somewhere on his site, webis.net on the first day of the free app friday and the other site freebie.
So yea, seems like a marketing ploy and yes it was. If you don't get pi version 8 for 16.95, well you still got a good PIM for free. And as they say, not much is really free without someone having an ulterior motive.

Because they checked your registration and they discovered you haven't purchased!! Purchased means IMHO ... PAID!
If you get for free a dog food can in a market, the day after could you give it back asking for a CAT food can? or the new taste DOG food can ?
They will ask to give them the RECEIPT, and you haven't!
hi
dont mean to nit pick but
1 yes i got an invoice for the item
2 they supplied a coupon discount code
3 yes i follow your logic about a refund when granted a discount coupon
Never mind i use agendus anyway

Looks like Obulis, from over 4 years ago, now with icartoon candy & pet instead of a ball & pot...
Not that I mean to critisize what you are doing, just the whole iPhone 'look what we created!' attitude when they simply copied something else.
After using touch screen devices for 4 years when the original iPhone was released and being asked for the nth time 'is that an iPhone? they have thouch screens!' has jaded me somewhat
Thanks for the game though

You got to remember iphone has excellent marketing. Honestly windows mobile should have been over iphone but several factors come into play
1) They had Steve Jobs , a superb speaker . We had bill gates best programmer on earth , but average speaker.
2) Their marketing and advertising is off the charts , while all we had was stupid commercials or no commercials.
3) They have more people communicating with thier customers. Xda was found by developers who where looking for support when microsoft didnt listen.
So even though windows mobile is the best phone , when you lack marketing, support, and too many different handset , you lose. I still make free games in my spare time for windows mobile to show my support.
Hi! that was a fun game to play. I hope there are more levels. I liked the difficulty and i think there is true potential in making it even more creative. Keep on the good work!
Still play Tiny Wings Bounce by the way and trying to beat my score. I cracked the 300,000 point mark. I have a WVGA device now, an HTC HD2. Maybe if you were gonna add new levels, maybe have more than one piece of candy you have to feed to the monster? Also scenery as the wallpaper? Just a thought or two, but it was a lot of fun to play.
Thanks again!
Ok glad you liked it!! Actually I got some request to do more levels on this game and some people still want me to make an endless version of canabalt. Iam glad you liked it also there is supermeatbuy saws of death for windows mobile.
There could be one bug, but it could maybe be my device. Whenever i hit either the left or right arrows in the level, the white dot appears where i hit the soft button.
i know the white dots are supposed to be where I swipe my finger to cut the rope, but the dot appears after touching any of the soft buttons. i can try to post a screenshot or two once i get a chance to show what i mean.

Yes I seen it too. How its programmed is where your finger taps on the screen , there will be the white dot that goes with your slashing or cutting the rope. Its suppose to disappear in half second but the 1st dot created always stays until you slash again. I dont know why 1st doesnt destroy itself automatically so I made such to design the levels in a way that it doesnt effect the outcome of the game.
Iam glad you guys enjoyed it , and I hope more developers continue to make fun freeware and support windows mobile development.
thanks for your reply. Whe i complete level 2 and i hit the next arrow, the dot appears and the food from the string gets cut without me doing anything. that is the only example how the non-disappearing 1st dot affects the level design.

Yes I played that and saw it. The only way to get around that is just tap anywhere else on the screen to make the dot disappear. Its programmed to destroy itself but for some reason it doesnt respond.

Android security cam or system?

OK..... As some of you know I own a deli/restaurant. We were broken into recently (no I don't have a security system and yes I'm a dope), luckily they only got us for $200-$300. I understand all of the obvious options we have for a system and I will be putting those in place asap.
Here's the thing.... there was no sign of forced entry. I have business partners (wasn't them) and 2 employees with keys (really don't think it was them) but possibly someone that knows any of the above got their key. None of that matters (my tiny brain will investigate that)....
Is there a security system or cams that could be linked to any of my android phones or tablets? If anyone knows of a system anything close to what I'm talking about, that would be really cool.
I'll be meeting with Time Warner and my wife just mentioned adt about a system but..... if I could any how have cams going to my tablets or phones that would be even more helpful, if it was an inside job.... and I hardly EVER think that way but there was no sign of forced entry. Also it happened the day of the Hurricane so the cops said anything outside with finger prints wouldn't show a thing.
Just saw something similar on the Nook Color forum and was wondering why I didn't ask this question to you guys the day it happened.
Money is somewhat of an option (as it is to most people) but having something feeding to my android devices would be priceless.
If this is an obvious answer please let this thread sink but if there is a way to have security running to my phones or tablets please speak up.
Thanks,
Chef

f#cken BUMS !!!
any suggestions for those that want the wireless route of camera? where I want to mount mine I wont have any existing cabeling for video and even getting power to it is gonna be tricky.
Really want remote viewing control on phone, recording dvr either onsite or in the cloud. most seem to be hardline cameras still except for the IP cameras which dont work with most typical dvr's ive seen at first glance. I know they make transmitters to convert the wired camera to wireless but thats adds a ton of clutter too as ones ive seen are bulky.
Try logitech alert 750e on Google.

I hate geovision dvr cards, but they have an android app finally. Most systems can be viewed from a web browser, but you'll want to make sure that there is an app for them as it makes viewing the video remotely much easier.
If you don't want to worry about finding an app for a specific brand go with wireless cameras. Don't get the kind that need a base unit. Get some that can be linked to a wireless router. You can then setup an existing computer to record the video or get a new computer dedicated for just this. Since each camera uses its own up address you can use one of the many ip camera apps in the market.
If you need help with anything send me a pm. I do camera installs and repair as a side job.

Let me talk to my business partners and wife tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll shoot you a pm after I talk to them. This seems to be a fairly cheap option w/out monthly fees or a base. I also have a sneaky suspicion that maybe someone is going in after we close and eating or feeding their friends and family like kings.
I work 7 days a week and close the business quite a few of the days. Sometimes I get a gut feeling that things weren't the wah they were when I left the night before. Soooo..... If I could be watching my business at night while yucking it up on xda, that's a win/win.
WINNING!

I don't have any information for you, but just want to show my sympathy toward your situation. It would be terrible if someone you trusted with the keys was doing it or even giving the key to their friends to do it. I am a Union Committeeman at the shop I work at and I just had to sit in with a maintenance man of ours while he got fired for stealing from the company. He was using his key to come in after hours and stealing copper wire and brass fittings and taking them to the scrap yard for money. The Plant manager was suspicious that it was an inside job and took pictures of the cars and people he suspected and took them down to the local scrap yard. They identified the guy and his car and even gave him a copy of the invoice he signed himself(dumbass). He lost a decent job over $76. There was nothing the Union could do to fight it because he was basically caught red handed. The Plant Manager gave him the option to either resign his position on the spot, or he could try to fight it and he would get the cops involved. He admitted doing it and resigned. Anyway, I hope you can catch whoever is doing it. I hope it's not the people you have trusted with keys, but it just sounds strange to me that there are no signs of forced entry. It may cost you now to install a camera system, but will save you $ in the long run. Good Luck bro.

Thanks! I tried doing a little detective work myself but lead me nowhere. They got me for the $100 bucks I leave in the till everynight to start the next day with and got my change box (roughly $200) where I keep all my rolled quarters, dimes etc to make change for the register ( this is where my detective work came in) . I went to a local change for dollars machine vendor but so many people use those daily (including myself when our home change cup gets full) that it would be impossible. I went to local stores and told them to keep an eye on anyone paying with rolled change. That's about the extent of my detective abilities. If I knew any crack dealers they would be the first ones I would ask if anyone's has been buying crack with rolled quarters (haha) .
As for food possibly missing at night is weighing heavy on my mind due to the whole trust issue when you hand a key to your business to someone you trust. I really don't think its anyone with the keys but maybe someone they know grabbing the key while they're sleeping or whatever.
I'll get the bastard whoever it is.

Fit 2 Watch Face Ideas...

It's great to see some growing interest in creating new watchface designs. I see new entries via he Gear app every week.
There seems to be:
- A focus on surfacing every possible function that the Fit 2 provides on most watchfaces. This results in some really busy designs, driving the point size of the activity values to ever decreasing sizes. It's not just my aging eyes that have a hard time reading many of these values, but even when I am wearing glasses (I correct to 20/15) these values are nearly impossible to read when exercising. Sometimes displaying everything, because you can, is not the best design decision.
- A lack of functionality that allows the user to select what activity values are displayed. Maybe this is a limitation of Samsung's dev tool kit?? If so, then that explains it. If not, it sure would be great to disable values that I would never want to see, such as Water and Caffeine - even Calories is useless for me. I realize this is personal, but that's why I ask the question about customization.
As I said in another thread, maybe it's best for me to just get the dev tool kit and create something for myself.
I agree. I finally hit that age where I need to wear readers for smaller text. None of the watch faces allowed me to view them without the readers. So, I did download the watch face designer and created my own. I have two that I go back and forth on. Both have large font for the time/steps/battery so I can see them while i'm exercising or just walking.
I just released a minimal large font watchface free in the store right now, might be to your liking.

Is that the "Minimal (24h) Watchface?

There seems to be:
- A focus on surfacing every possible function that the Fit 2 provides on most watchfaces. This results in some really busy designs, driving the point size of the activity values to ever decreasing sizes. It's not just my aging eyes that have a hard time reading many of these values, but even when I am wearing glasses (I correct to 20/15) these values are nearly impossible to read when exercising. Sometimes displaying everything, because you can, is not the best design decision.

Some of them are definitely too busy so I decided what I wanted to see on my watch face and then created my own (still pending Samsung approval to be listed in the store). It leans toward the small but more functional side.

- A lack of functionality that allows the user to select what activity values are displayed. Maybe this is a limitation of Samsung's dev tool kit?? If so, then that explains it. If not, it sure would be great to disable values that I would never want to see, such as Water and Caffeine - even Calories is useless for me. I realize this is personal, but that's why I ask the question about customization..

I'm pretty new to this, but the Gear Watch Designer (GWD) doesn't allow one to select activities on the watch itself as far as I could find. The Samsung-made watch faces have the Stylize button to select colors and such and I can't even figure out if that's possible in GWD. One can't even select 12hr/24hr on a watchface, let alone activities. It would be a good idea though.

As I said in another thread, maybe it's best for me to just get the dev tool kit and create something for myself.

It's not really that hard to do. Samsung has a pretty good tutorial on their site. If you don't plan on submitting to their store, it's even easier.
Having said that, once I get Samsung to approve my current submission, I plan to make others (all free of course) and I wouldn't mind making one for you. What sort of concept do you have in mind? Activities needed, etc. This kind of stuff is a fun hobby for me and a way to give back to the XDA community.

Thanks for the offer. When I get some time, I am going to dive in myself. I might start with something like the Black Modern by minimin, but I'd make it more readable.

Yes, that one is mine. was my first watchface and I tried to make match the request of 2 posts I saw on a different thread before you guys posted.
I plan to make more and do requests after we finish moving to our new home. Not sure if anyone is actually buy this device though. My next watchface I'm going to see about adding a pseudo flashlight button.

Hi Coal,
I've just started to make my own watch faces too for the GF2. Here is a comment from the Samsung Developers Forum on how to create a Stylize/change colors at least...
The first issue I've had is using an example as a template then activating the "Always on Display" view. When I uploaded my watchface to my GF2 it would cycle through the "layers" of my watch face then resort back to a pre-loaded Samsung watch face. So now, I just do not try and add that feature in... Good Luck! I may upload something after I practice a LOT more!
