Support NeoGAF

[zomgbbqftw]

Sorry for questions, but any particular reason I should avoid Exynos? Obviously it's a very popular phone so I'm assuming people generally at least test on it to make sure it works for their apps.

Oh, you're making an app. I thought you were looking to go into ROM development, yeah in that case it makes no difference. I would still get a Nexus 4 as it is a reference device.

[gcubed]

Yup, but not on tablets. Which device are you using it on?

A tablet. Never saw that caveat.. wtf that's dumb

 

[OriginalThinking]

Yeah, confused the heck out of me for ages wondering whether it was a flag or if I had fucked up somewhere.

 

[yogloo]

is there a music player app that supports lock screen controls while using a pattern-unlock? (on an S3)

seems like most only support lock screen controls with a swipe-unlock.

I love how double twist does its lock screen control.

I love how double twist does its lock screen control.

Google play music has lock screen control also with pattern lock.

Going out on a limb here, but anyone know of an app to download to wirelessly stream content to something like a boxee box, or anything that can emulate airplay?

Closest I found was imediashare lite, but when I go to my pictures it just shows an hourglass instead of the picture.

there are apps that are AirPlay compatible and there are also UPnP/DLNA compatible apps like Twonky Beam that will push to devices that are UPnP/DLNA client compatible, like the Xbox 360.

I'll check out twonky, cheers

Since no one has said it in a while I feel like I should to maintain quota:

x phone.

 

[Psychotext]

What's an X Phone?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It's the phone after W Phone.

 

[Psychotext]

Should be good.

 

[Groof]

What's an X Phone?

Predecessor of the Galaxy Y.

 

[The Faceless Master]

What's an X Phone?

heir apparent to the Droid X

Should have called it the DROID Y.

 

[Talon]

Should have called it the DROID Y (would I buy a non-Samsung phone?).

Translated.

at this point a better question would be to ask what ISN'T the x phone.

I almost hope the nex5/x phone suck so I don't have to sell my current phone to get it but alas, I am weak in the knees. 3000+ mah battery minimum and I will cave like a bitch....MAYBE.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Translated.

My first 2 smartphones were HTC and Motorola, respectively. In fact my first smartphone ever was an AT&T 8525 (HTC Hermes). It ran Windows Mobile 5. God, Windows Mobile was such a piece of shit.

Google's going to troll the fuck out of everyone and just launch a Nexus 4 LTE with the same camera at I/O.

HTC Dash 4 Lyfe. My favorite part was the metal band around the front that became detached and eventually tore off.

I remember flashing WP7 onto it. It still sucked.

I could see that for i/o, but as for the x phone/nexus 5 coming in the fall, they best walk the walk when they say they want to improve build/battery and whatnot.

3200mAH model will cost an additional $50, $35 for battery addon, $15 for case addon (required for battery addon)

I'll just sacrifice some RAM and put in only 2 gigs instead of 4.

8 gigs of GDDR5 VRAM, brah.

Gotta run Crysis FTP.

It says HTC, what were you expecting?

 

[brotkasten]

Somehow I doubt you did that.

 

[DrFunk]

To the contrary, that was considered a good phone in 2008. Once I flashed a stock rom and got rid of ATT's one.

In retrospect though...it's was a bad device.

I always mean to say 6.5 and say 7.

I always mean to say 7 and say 6.5.

Maybe I actually mean 5.5.

So was everything else around that time. At least it had something that was considered to be a high resolution screen at that time.

Fixed. It's like bragging that the BB 9900 is considered a good phone now. Sure it is to Blackberry users but that doesn't mean squat.

But damn, remember when half the flagship Android phones had keyboards and touch pads/scroll balls. I miss those days :/

 

[tino]

You must not own a smartphone in 2008. At the time HTC OEM 90% of the smartphones.

 

[The Faceless Master]

indeed. they were the OEM for most of the palm and winmo lineup.

HTC Smartphones I've owned: G1, HTC Hero, MyTouch 3G Slide, G2, Nexus One, Sensation.

My statement still stands.

 

[0xCA2]

Question:

I have an Android tablet. For some reason, it randomly jumps back to the home screen. I have tried returning it back to factory settings and that didn't work, but I did restore all my old apps so maybe that's the problem.

Does anyone know of this issue?

 

[tino]

Well they are 2009 or later, my statement still stands.

Had that phone as well through work. Worst thing to ever happen to me.

 

[malyce]

G1 was released in 2008, but that's beside the point. HTC is still garbage, stop living in the past. They had a spark when they started.

Oh god it's people like you that make having a discussion in the HTC one thread so difficult. Check the last few pages of that thread to see what I mean

You're basically inviting him into the thread. That seems like a good idea.

LMAO, it's not that serious. I think the One is a great device, and definitely a step in the right direction in many ways for HTC.

 

[DrFunk]

The One is a great device. He'll, it even got -pyromaniac- to buy it!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I caved for the build quality, screen and good web browsing time. I'm still a fickle whore though. Show me the nexus 5 and win me back from the skinned masses google. You must.

But until then I'll continue to stroke the aluminum.

Phandroid with a new entry to their Uniquely Android series

Uniquely Android: Puzzle Alarm Clock

What’s so unique about Puzzle Alarm Clock?

Right at the start, I have to request you to not judge Puzzle Alarm Clock by its name. It isn’t yet another of those “solve a math problem to switch off alarm apps”. It has a butt-load of features that I’ll get to below, but there’s one key element that makes it stand out for me: NFC.

I first began using the app at the start of the year when I was struggling to get rid of my nocturnal nature. I hate getting up early in the morning, sometimes snoozing my alarm for several hours before finally getting out of bed. The key for me, however, is that once I’m up and out of my room, I’m quite fresh and won’t fall back asleep even if I try to.

I had a bunch of NFC tags lying around, and I thought “wouldn’t it be great if there was an alarm app that only switched off the alarm by tapping with an NFC tag placed far away from my bed?” For a few minutes I thought I had just stumbled across a million dollar app idea. Unfortunately, as with all my other million dollar ideas, I found that someone had already built it.

i laughed. i know you did too!

 

[reKon]

lol one of my friends who is more of a casual user (like most who buy iPhones) just told me that he agrees that the HTC One looks great, but he doesn't trust HTC, lol...

damn

The only HTC phone that I really used a lot was the Droid Incredible and that phone is great back then with it's only fault being shitty battery. Then I heard about problems with the battery life of the Thunder, but not much more than that. What did HTC do to lose the people's trust?

The One X had some hardware defects at launch too, notably with the WiFi antenna.

 

[Jake.]

just upgraded to 4.1.2 and i fucking hate it. how can i make the internet icon in the dock open with a browser other than stock? why has scrolling wallpaper been removed? why does it make you crop wallpaper now (you can't have a fullscreen portrait image?). ugh.
