Hello all,
I'm looking for some of one really missing functionality on android phones .
An iphonelike magnifier cursor tool !
I think everybody can see what I mean : you hold your finger on the text, then a magnifier bubble appears making easy and precise to move the cursor (or select) !
Strangely, the feature is available on recent htc (legend and others) but ONLY for rendered text and NOT for text fields ...
Nobody can make an app/service for that feature ?
I'm ready to pay for it ! (and I think I'm not the only one...)
please please please .
keep this topic up if you agree !
+1 that would be cool
I've wanted this since day one since I came from an iPhone 3g to android (n1)
i feel like this should be implemented into the OS... its the one thing android lacks, that and pinch zoom email
+1. I would love this too. Can someone here build it?

If you can't read the text, make it bigger in settings or put some glasses on.
It's not about seeing it's about the text selection / copy + paste. One thing iPhone definitely does better is copy + paste. I'm no fan boy (read my sig) but there is no denying the iPhone wins on this point. I would love this on my nexus one.
Yer copy is better any one fix

In that case +2.
Silly me.

On devices with a trackball or similar, you can use that to navigate text fields on character at a time.
Don't know what they do on devices without one.

yes I agree the track ball does work fine, but the magnification would work even better.

I don't know about other phones but Motorola Milestone XT720 got this function by default. Just press and hold for a while and the magnifier pop-up. It's very easy to set the cursor precisely where I want. Is that default in Eclare or only in this particular phone?

It is only for this particular phone I'm afraid ... I've never seen the feature on any android devices by now .
Except on HTCs but only for rendered text (not for text fields : sms etc) .
Can someone extract the feature from the XT720 ?

I mean, if springboard can do the real flipping action and look neat like
this one, why cant it be done decently on other Android devices?
Ive spent a few hours searching for a decent app... they all suck! Can anyone help me?? PLEASE??!??
Sense analog clock
About the closest I've found is "Sense Analog Clock" on the market.
I think the MIUI interface has one that is close also.

Thanks for your help!!! But I'm looking for the actual animation FLIP...
Thank you nonetheless though!!
have you tried "Animating Flip Clock Widget"?
Is there really a market for this? I've always used HTC so I've always had it, but I don't see why it would be difficult to write one from scratch. What's it worth? I might give it a shot.

Thank you for your response, and yes.. I have tried that app.. but it is not getting updates from the vendor at all.. It think it's just an anonymous data collector.... Can't resize, Cant do Weather... Yadda Yadda, Oh yeah, and it also get's clipped when you go landscape.
Geene Poole- I think there would be a market.. the issue is, I heard that it has been done in the past, and the dev's have gotten C&D letters from HTC for patent infringement... If I were a dev, I wouldn't give two squirts of piss about the C&D letter considering HTC is a China owned company, and we all know how much China respects other peoples patents and trademarks
If I were a Dev, I would have done this a long time ago... Can I assist with anything?

Huh? All HTC Android phones running Sense 2.0-3.5 have the flip clock. ( Those running Sense 1.9 like Desire has it too but it doesn't have the flipping animations though.) Which version of Sense are you running?

Read the permissions and how the dev never updates it.

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

Hey guys,
I have the at&t one x+ and was looking for a couple apps to make my life a little easier and to make the phone that more amazing. The first one is to be able to quick reply and quick text from the lock screen. The primary reason I want this feature is to enhance the battery life of the phone. Since I use juicedefender and I don't need to unlock the phone when I text (meaning I don't need to connect to WiFi) the battery life will be prolonged.
Another app/option I'm looking for is to be able to control the frequency of text sound notification. If I've been texting frequently I don't need to hear a sound notification every time. Example: maybe an option to receive sound notification if I havnt received/sent a text since 5 minutes from the last text, otherwise a LED notification will suffice. And it I'm currently using the phone a preview of the message on the status bar is all I need, no sound necessary.
Bonus question: is there a way to send chat messages on Facebook using landscape mode and not having to go through 3-4 steps ?
Hope to hear from you guys soon.
This is interesting. Im used to iPhone's notification shortcuts.

Thanks for the info, but I'm not looking to get the windows lockscreen. I'm very much happy with the HTC lockscreen thus far. Just was a couple features that I had gotten used to with my jailbroken iPhone.
Your looking for something like bitesms huh? If so chompsms is pretty much is the same

Get another iphone ... Or better yet put up with what you have. Either way there is no way to do it without a 3rd party lockscreen.

i run handcent and its got all what you need lockscreen notify and a quick reply, fully costumizable, i run nothing else

p.s it work with the stock lockscreen
Sweet, thanks for the recommendations. As of right now I'm going with chompsms to test it out. It seems like it unlocked the phone upon quick replying and goes back to the lock screen after the text is sent. I'll keep testing it out and the other 3rd party apps. I appreciate guys.
Hello guys,
Today i open cpuz app and there i see a new thing i have never seen before in my phone. Big.little cores, before it says 6 cores x1.75 something like that and now it changed and eating more battery. I tried changing roms, changing kernels but it remain there, is there anything i can do to close it and bring back my battery backup. And it never show core x 1.80.
Thanks (and please understand)
anybody......?
I'm really not sure what your question is. CPU-Z looks normal. 1.80 should be hit when under stress.
It's normal. Nothing wrong with that.
That's how big.LITTLE works.

Guys, my ques is that this big.little ( i know it saves battery but in my case i think it is eating) things is not there before in from past few weeks (maybe 2-3) it is appearing in cpu z and the clock speed is 1.80 max but it is always before 1.75 max it is never 1.80, so i wanted to know how this things happen? Flashing kernel causes this to unlock in hardware or what? And whatever rom, kernel on i am it showing as it is. It is 10 months using rn3 and it is showing now, how?

Lol...theres nothing wtong with this... Default on our kenzo max is 1804MHz on big cluster (2*A72) and 1440MHz on small cluster (4*A53).
You can change frequencies or governors with kernel adiutor man...
