320x320 res not supported
I tried out the product and overall it was good. Here are a few things I would like different:
bigger icons - there are no skins to test otherwise this may not be an issue.
today plugin - didn't work well. i have an RL today plugin that would only show a small portion of the actual plugin. Could never unload or load another plugin.
Contact\App pages - please give the ability to hide the + signs. If i only want 5 shortcuts, I don't want the rest of the screen taken up by + signs.
More customization - Allow us to choose more of a certain type of page. I may want 4 plugin pages, or 3 application pages.
WVGA / WQVGA available now !!!
any ETA on 320x320 res?

I tried to send them the following e-mail and it got bounced with:
Recipient: <[email protected]>

Not sure why this is, but I'm repeating the e-mail here in hopes the dev will see it.
Hello,
I want to start by saying I’m enjoying Touch Shell. I have it installed in main memory on my Verizon xv6900 (HTC Touch) with Verizon’s official 6.1 upgrade and Touch-Shell 1.0.0.23. I have found a couple of bugs. When I go into the settings for the clock, if I turn off the blinking cursor it will be solid when I exit the settings screen. When I go to another screen or launch a program, when it returns to the main screen, the cursor blinks 7 or 8 times a second and kind of erratically. Also on my phone the animation on changing screens doesn’t work. No matter what I set it to, it just loads up the new page without any animation. I also use a RedFly and it doesn’t play nice with that at all. When I connect with the RedFly, the screen is in landscape like it is supposed to be, but it is confined to the upper left corner. It doesn’t scale to the 800x480 resolution on the RedFly. That isn’t a show stopper, but when I click on any of the links (home, weather, apps) I get a Win32-Exception (WndProc): EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at address 47484 by message WM_LBUTTONDOWN. I click OK and get Win32-Exception (WndProc): EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at address 47484 by message WM_MOUSEMOVE. When I click the close button, it exits and I get Win32-Exception (WndProc): EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at address 47484 by message c016. I get that once or twice and the program loads again and I go through the same procedure. If I can be of help solving this, please let me know.
I also have a couple of feature requests. I use Pocket Informant and it is set as the default app for the calendar, however, when I click on the appointment area of the main screen it takes me to the default WM calendar app. Can this be changed so it takes me to PI? Another request is for the animation. There should be a way to choose “off” in addition to the three choices. It isn’t working on my phone, but it should be able to be turned off if you want to gain the speed. And a probably personal preference UI request. It is very apparent what screen you are on, home, weather, contacts, etc. so I don’t think the highlight of the icon is necessary and it kind of detracts from the background.
Thank you for your time,
David Rowe
Error installing on Ipaq HX2790b WM6
Hi,
I have tried to install this heaps of times and i always get the same error:
"The file Touch Shell connot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I have WM6 installed with .NET 3.5.
Thanks for any help !
Works flawlessly on my Atom Life even on WM 6.5 and ultra smooth better than M2D in terms of speed and effects.
Theme/shell issues
Hi, I hope you are having a great day. I have tried to add many different today themes/shells with no luck. I have an HTC Touch Elf with win mobile 6.
Also I am using a mac with the program missing sync for windows mobile. I have never had any compatibility issues until now. I am able to get most themes on to my phone, but from there they either do not show up in my files on the phone, or I get two different messages. The most common says that there is no program associated with the file.
Anyways, I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks for your time,
- scottydo71
how does the overall performance of this app compare to the performance of tf3d? I've got a fuze with tf3d and it's fairly slow..
thanks
How can i change the wallpaper? I have tried and it seems that i can only change the WM theme and that changes the background but there is no other way as i tried to change it the theme dialog on WM and it puts a background that is not the one I selected. :S

What will be your reaction, if you have bought this application and any request sent to [email protected] bounces back. No chance of any guarantee of money back too. lolz...
is there a way to make the email icon go to my Gmail account instead of the default "Outlook" Email"? Thanks
Hi all,
In the past three years, we've witnessed greatly increased competition among smartphones. Android and iPhone are considered by some to be the two most serious contenders, and both have attracted many new users who migrated from the other platform. I myself was a devoted winmo user, and had used every generation of winmo phones/PDA since the late 90's. When iPhone was first released, I did not take it seriously at all, because there were so many limitations and the initial phone did not support third party applications. I made the change from winmo to iPhone only in 2009 after a rather detailed comparison exercise between winmo and iPhone. I've been more than happy with my decision and the jailbroken phone. However, technology does not stay still, and there has been lots of changes especially in the hardware end and the entry of Google into the smartphone business. Personally, I'm greately tempted by the potential of hugh screen size offered by handsets such as the HTC supersonic, and would like to understand if my smartphone experience could be enhanced even more by switching to Android. I also think that this topic area would appear on the forum for every single Android phone, and it might be good to centralise the discussion to get the maximum input possible. Hence this thread.
RULE FOR THID THREAD:
Rule 1: General Courtesy:
I would like to state that this is not a thread for any basher or haters of Google or Apple. If you're one of them, please leave and preach your anti-evil corporation philosophy elsewhere. This is also not meant to be a thread to try to convert any Google phone user to iPhone or vise versa, so while I recognise it's going to be hard, please try your best to stay objective and refrain from imposing your opinion as the only possible logical choice on others. I plead that all you all observe this, so as to get to the end of all the discussion and research as efficiently as possible.
Note: While it is not within my power to remove trouble makers, I will not be responding to any troll on this thread.
Rule 2: Discuss one area at a time, with suitable heading in the title of your post.
This thread may become very long, and people interested in finding out specific comparison should not be made to read through every word in every post. So, let's always describe in the title of your post what your points pertain to.
For now, the title descriptions to be used are: (If you feel the need to have additional topic area for comparision, please let me know so that it can be added here)
- Cut and paste design
- Multitasking design
- hardware button design
- multimedia capabilities
- Touchscreen technology
- Storage capability
- Processor and graphic capability
- Market place
- Application software
- Vendor support
- Firmware upgrade
- Battery life and design
- Camera and video
- Best GPS software (I feel that this is important enough to warrant distinct segregation)
- Theme and UI customization capabiilty
- User interface of applications
- User interface of desktop/sprinboard/program launcher/widget/task switcher
- Application defaults
- Notification handling
- Best web browsing application
- Global search
- Speech recognition
- Device management (backup, restore, syncing, etc)
- Side loading of applications
- File Management and Access
- Using it as a business phone
Rule 3: FULL potential of the phone. You can tweak, customize, as long as the procedure could reasonably be expected of an ordinary user.
Since this thread is mean to help END user choose the BEST phones in the market, the capability that you discuss must come from application programs that has already been made available to the public rather than something that can be done but requires programming knowledge to achieve it. Similar, it. A jailbroken/rooted phone's capability can be discussed as long as the jailbreak tool is available and could reasonably be performed by an average user without hacking skill to personally do the hacking themselves. Also, since my intention is mainly to find out which should be my next phone, we should base it on OS4.0 in iPhone, iPhone HD, and the best possible Android hardware likely to be available in the next few months, and I assume this is HTC Supersonic.
Therefore, no "the phone is crippled out of the box" type of debates please.
Rule 4: Focus on describing the capability rather then merely state your opinion on your preference without backing it up. (For this reason, I'll only draw up a comparision chart after giving everyone the chance to state all the known facts.). Try to state the name of the program/utility that you would use to achieve that capability. I think this would be highly educational.
Enough rules for now. Let's see how it goes.
Thank you for participating on this thread.
Cheers.

Cut and Paste design
Android
-------
Please correct me if I'm wrong, my understanding is that the cut and paste design is a little inconsistent depending on the OEM. I've personally played with a Samsung Galaxy, and noted two different cut and paste design:
1) Press and hold. Unfortunately, there is no magnifying glass pop up to indicate the position of the cursor. You have then to use the joystick(not sure if this is what they call it) to position it.
2) I vaguely remember at other place, method 1 is not supported. You have to use the hardware button , and select an item there in order to do copy and paste.
Recently, I had a chance to look at a video showing the cut and paste in one of the HTC Android phones, and noted a third method, very similar to iPhone, but the magnifying glass is square rather than round.
I also got the impression that copy and paste is not supported on non-enterable field. I'm seeking users with expertise to correct/enhance this piece of information.
Edit: See post #71 for some more precise description on how cut and paste works in Android, described by dsymbol.
iPhone
------
Press and hold will provide the handle to select the text for copying. This pretty much work across all the places, including email, webpages, on both enterable and non-enterable fields.
Edit: However, there ARE also some rare exceptions where inconsistencies have been found, mainly arising from software created before iPhone introduced cut and paste in version 3.0 I think. An example that comes to my mind is an office document application called QuickOffice, which was around prior to OS3.0 I think. Here, to select text in the word document, instead of holding your finger down, you have to double tap to reveal the handle for text selection, you then press an icon at the bottom to copy or cut. This is quite different from the usual methods used by applications using the Apple's standard API. Most office documents applications including Office2 (It is actually Office square, with a little 2 at the top right of the word Office) and Document to Go are using the familiar cut and paste used everywhere else.
Multimedia capability
A. Using hardware button to start/pause/skip/repeat song and change volume without headset
- iPhone: Yes, using a Cydia application called VolumeButton Extender
- Android: hardware button can only control volume and not pause/play/skip/repeat.
B. Using supplied headset to start/pause/skip/repeat song and control volume
- iPhone: Yes.
- Android: It can start/pause/skip/repeat with the phone in the pocket, but any volume change must be done on the device itself.
C: Volume change increment:
- iPhone: 16 volume increment, allowing you have have the volume closest to your need, e.g, listening music while trying to get to sleep without being kept awake.
- Android: 8 only, therefore offering less precise volume level for the user. Not sure if this is device specific or generic across all Android phones.
D: Playlist combining audio and video files and playing video files with phone shut off.
- iPhone: Yes. In order to play video with screen completely shut off, switch off the phone, and on the lock screen start the music player, then switch off.
- Android: It is possible to play music video with the screen shut off, but you cannot combine video and audio in the playlist. In fact the default music player does not play video - only audio.
I invite Android users to help to beef up or correct information pertaining to rooted Android phone's capabilities.
Multitasking
A: Extend of multitasking for third party applications.
Android: All applications seems to be kept alive regardless of the situations.
iPhone: If you use the Backgrounder, all applications and processes could be kept alive. If you use the smart multitasking from Apple itself, only processes that needs to be kept alive are kept alive. Such processes include GPS function, audio streaming, file upload/download where the service must be completed without interuption. Apple believes that this smart multitasking is the key to battary life and performance, so have chosen this implementation instead of what Steve Job called an easy but wrong method of "full multitasking". Application's "state" is saved, so users need not exit an application when switching to another one.
B: Methods of task switching by showing active tasks and choosing it.
Android: Menu button to show the most recently used task, which could be different from active task. Hence a newly boot up Android might not show the phone application although it is already active. This is the only method for switching to other running application without going to the program launcher.
iPhone: Many options exist to show active tasks and choosing which to switch to. Method of invoking could be one of the 19 ways provided by the Activator(methods include single click of home key, double click of home key, press and hold the home key, shake the device, double press the sleep button quickly, press and hold the sleep button, slide into the screen from below, slide into the screen from bottom left, slide into the screen from bottom right, pinch the springboard, spread the springboard, double tap the status bar, tap and hold the status bar, swipe down the status bar, swipe left on the status bar, swipe right on the status bar, tap on volume heads up display, press volume down then up, press volume up then down.)
Kirikae: list the active task. You can kill the application or switch to it there.
Circuitous: List the icons of the active task. You can kill the application or switch to it there.
Multiflow: Display and switch to task Palm Pre style. You may close the application by swiping it off, among many available methods.
ProSwitcher: Display and switch to task Palm Pre style. You may close the application by swiping it off, among many available methods.
There are others doing more or less the same thing which I would not bother listing on. You just have to choose a method that suits your own preference and personality.
With OS4.0, double click of home button will show the most recent task on the dock and switch to the application there. You might close the application by holding the icon until it wobbles and press the deletion badge.
C: Going directly to the next and previous application without bringing up a list of task:
Android: You may use the back button to go the previous application. Going to the next application is not supported by one click/touch operation.
iPhone: Using Circuiutous, you may use any of the 19 methods mentioned above to go to the next and previous application. Some people find it extremely intuitive to swipe the taskbar left and right to go to next or previous application, similar to the way pictures are changed. You could of course also use hardware button if that's what you prefer.
I invite Android users to correct/beef up any unmentioned methods.
boi youre wastin your time,
pick up your iphone and go to hell with it...
steve,
It would be nice and easier to just have a comparison table like the one Sethos II made.

Thanks for the suggestion. My intention was to draw that up only after all the facts are known, rather than making biased conclusion without the benefit of complete information. It will be included later. That's why I've reserved a few empty posts to do just that.
Battery life and design
A. Removable battary - This is something that I cherish quite a lot during my winmo days. I liked the ability to carry along spare battaries before I board the plane for a long trip for example, where power source is an issue.
Android - YES!
iPhone - No. There are alternative portable power packs but they tend to make the phone bulkier. There are also portable chargers, but these solution is just not as good as having user replaceable battaries.
File Manager and Access
A. File Manager
iPhone:
Using an application like iFile from Cydia, users could see all the directories and subdirectories, and files in all directories. It also allows the files to be copied, deleted, moved. Clicking on a picture would display the picture, clicking on a music file will play the music file.
However, if you're trying to do a file attachment on a forum like here, it cannot be done.
Android: Same weakness due to not having a native file manager???
B. Ability for all applications to use the same directory?
iPhone:
Generally there is no such capability, although there are exception (e.g. The music player dTune could play music files downloaded with the Music Meow application). Therefore, if I have more than one spreadsheet programs in an iPhone, these different applications could not update the same spreadsheet file because the file has to be stored in the application's own directory. iFile of course could access any directory and display files in any directory.
Android:
Any such limitation? Which are some of the popular spreadsheet applications for example? Could you specify the location of the saved files to be anywhere?
Side loading of applications
Sideloading allows users to install programs which were not from the officially sactioned market place:
Android: - Yes.
iPhone - Yes. Non-programmer type users could install applications from the Cydia store. These are often program that Apple won't approve, but could also contain applications removed from the App Store such as porn applications.
Multimedia capabilities
A. Video playback test.
I invite anyone to provide links of videos for testing purposes to compare the two phone's playback capability.
For now, I would like to get you guys to refer to this thread and see if the video play by just clicking on the link. If not, are you able to download it and play smoothly, without pause or frame loss? Without the audio/video going out of sync? Details about this video is in post #7. The file is made for the screen resolution of HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645610
iPhone:
Yes. Without conversion, it plays smoothly although the video is not made for the iPhone screen resolution.
See youtube videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAGqKYlSnHA - this is playing after downloading the file
Here is the video test when played directly rather than downloded first.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C39CHtqOAso
Android:
Does it play?
Did I miss something or there's nothing about, say, business capabilities - Exchange and Office support? Don't know how to label the post, but here's the question:
On the iPhone, I know there are office package(s) available, but here's what I want to know - how do you transfer files there? Do you get a documents folder or do you need to look for a directory with one of those cryptic names? Also, how does it handle email attachments? Can I save a ppt I receive for later use in the office program?
With regard to Exchange - can I have full support that will include push for Tasks, Email, Calendar and Contacts? Not push for the latter three and manual sync for Tasks?
Best GPS software
iPhone:
Probably no single vendor can justifiably claim that they have the best GPS in every country. TomTom is the best in Australia (I'll justify that assessment later), but it is probably not as good in say Navigon in US, if we base it on sales statistics. The major choices are:
TomTom
Navigon
iGO
NDrive
Sygic
M6 (which I understand is the best in Asean)
Copilot
Each user may have a different idea of what constitute the best. Some value live traffics, some speed warning, some completeness of road speed information for speed monitoring, some warning upon approaching schools, some the ability to perform google search in addition to POI search, some 3D realistic view, some music control within the application, some intelligent routing that considers traffic congestions among other things, some text to speech, some multitouch user interface for map zooming in and out, some completeness of safety camera database, some map currency.
In Australia, my own preference is TomTom. It has extremely nice user interface, google search , very complete speed information for all roads, map is quite up to date for most places, it incorporates pinch and zoom, warn you when appraoching safety camera and when you overspeed, allows easy control of music without leaving the application, has 3D realistic view for major highway exits and intersections, decent text to speech option. After receiving phone calls, it automatically resume with the most up-to-seconds GPS coordinate and location without waiting for signal. If the call is terminated by the other party there is no need to touch the phone for the resume to be completed.
Sygic also uses the same map, but the UI is bad and reminds me of the winmo style, although the UI is still way better than winmo type of GPS.
Navigon, Copilot, iGo, NDrive all uses maps with rather incomplete speed information in Australia.
Android GPS ??
Which is the best in Australia and what can it do?
Note: I use Android, so if it sounds like I am biased, it's because I am (Although I tried to stay unbias). I removed some categories because I felt that either I did not know the answer (Rare) or that I didn't feel like taking the time to write one up. These are NOT definitive answers based on potential, this is purely from stock functionality (With touches on their equivalent of being rooted sometimes). Why did I do a stock comparison? This because 1) That's what most people will use and 2) The limits of both OS' when rooted/jailbroken are almost non-existent
- Cut and paste design
iPhone: Hold over text, magnifying glass comes up, release to get the two bars then drag them to copy. This is pretty straight-forward.
Android: Method 1- Hold on text entry place, then choose "Select All" or "select Text"
Method 2- If your device has a keyboard, hold the shift button and select text (Works in most places)
Method 3 (Limited to 2.1 sense Users)- Same as iPhone, but it has a few more options than cut, copy, paste.
- Multitasking design
iPhone; Currently not available for stock and I have no experience of it with a kailbroken iPhone
Android: Android multi-tasks without tweaking. It can hold as many app in memory as RAM allows (It will only kill processes when the processes kill themselves or when it runs out of memory, in which case it kills the oldest ones). To see a list of RECENTLY running processes, hold the home button. This will bring up a list of the last 6 used (Obviously it's not practical to show the 50 or so the Nexus can have running at the same time).
- hardware button design
iPhone: Home button which is multi-functional (Home, Double tap will have different functions depending on users choice/firmware), (Camera Button?), Volume Rocker, and Sleep/Wake Button.
Android: All Android phones MUST include at least a Home Button (also multi-functional, but not as much so), a Menu Button, a Back Button, and as far as I know an End Call Button. They also usually include a camera button and a volume rocker.
- multimedia capabilities
Not quite sure what we want here, but if it is how the experience is, the iPhone wins pretty heavily. Android can do the same exact things, but it looks ugly while doing it. Sense Users have the best form of Music app in Htc Music, but I'll try to stick to stock for now.
- Storage capability
iPhone: Whichever size you buy is what you're stuck with for life (16 or 32gb in 3GS)
Android: Normally have limited internal memory (Action of phone manufacturer) which means many apps may not be installed (Not a problem as most Android apps are under 1mb). Sdcards are used, give an "unlimited" amount of external storage.
- Processor and graphic capability
iPhone: Pretty sure it's 600 mhz, correct me if wrong
Android: So far we're at 1ghz, need I say more?
- Market place
iPhone: Don't own one so someone else will need to cover this
Android: Mention what you need to know and one of us Android users will tell you.
- Application software
Not quite sure what we mean by this.
- Vendor support
Both operating systems is for as long as the hardware capabilities don't force them to stop supporting it.
- Firmware upgrade
iPhone: Upgrade through iTunes, you may not get all features in the firmware update.
Android: OTA updates, if you're getting the update you usually get everything in it.
- Battery life and design
iPhone: No removable battery, and from what I've heard, battery life sucks.
Android: Removable Batteries, from what I've heard, the Nexus can go a day and a half no problem. The Nexus is thinner than iPhone, has a bigger screen, looks sexy but the iPhone would win in this department (But the plastic backs kind of kill it on the iPhone for me)
- Best GPS software (I feel that this is important enough to warrant distinct segregation)
iPhone: Third-Party apps, not sure which is best
Android: The Google Navigation is by far the best I have ever used
- Theme and UI customization capabiilty
iPhone: Out of the box, you can change the lockscreen wallpaper and move icons around.
Android: Wallpaper, Homescreens, can replace anything if you don't like it (Most apps will allow you to use that instead of the stock app equivalent).
- User interface of applications:
iPhone: In my opinion, they are all a little stale because they use the SAME exact interface (But that's the point of a user interface).They use the bar at top, bar at bottom for navigation, it's all equivalent to the stock apps
Android: They vary a little more in UI but they all are the same on thie inside. Press Menu to view options, they all have the grey bar (Mostly because this is integrated into the Android framework)
- User interface of desktop/sprinboard/program launcher/widget/task switcher
iPhone:

Android:
- Notification handling
iPhone: Annoying popups, 'nuf said
Android: Status bar, pull down to see all notifications
- Best web browsing application
Not really a fair comparison as iPhone has two (Opera or Safari)
- Global search
iPhone: Can search all device files from homescreen
Android: Same as iPhone but the web search is also integrated
- Speech recognition
iPhone: Voice Over, For Music and...? purposes
Android: Voice Search by holding the search button, Voice Dialer by holding send button, voice keyboard in all text entry fields
- Side loading of applications
Clarification?
- File Management and Access
iPhone: Not sure
Android: Have full access to the all partitions other than the system partition (AFAIK) without root.
Ok so here is my verdict on iPhone Vs ANDROID
When iPhone was release i was an Apple fanboy form that very time, i paid heavily for iPhones, they were like life to me, i have every iPhone to date and the first android i got was the G1, on using it i could only say one thing, it is the future and it is proved itself day by day
Experiences
1. Jailbroken iPhone
I love how u can do almost anything but nothing in the iPhone, only thing an iPhone drools over is apps and apps and nothing else. iPhone has an edge over android in just apps. For everything else u are crippled and for anything u want to do u ought to have a computer. Battery life is not what i would love and it has a boring interface good enough for 50 year old person who can just understand to dialer and dial
Android
Android is still immature, one thing u would hate about android is that it updates acc. to devices, it will add a feature only when a device is made to have the feature. other things Android is the most customizable OS ever made in the history of smartphones and mobiles. It has a clean interface if u understand it and by far the most efficient in everything it does. You shouldnt be surprised when it updates itself to become more efficient. iPhone revolutionized the designing but android revolutionized software. Android what i say is a complete OS, it just like a mini computer, to use it u dont need to have a computer, u can do everything on the phone itself, u want to add some music, videos anything do it on the phone itself, u want to update, download do it on the phone itself and it is robust enough to even create websites, i created my website using my android phone and nothing else, Android has endless possibilities.
Multimedia-
u dont have to be tied to computer to do anything on android. U can use anything 3rd party if u dont like stock, 3rd party has the ability to add more stuff which is not in stock. onlu con is that u have no equalizer.
It can play more formats than iPhone, u dont need to convert and sync music, u r not tied to use the default music player. The gallery is the best one around.
Android has the most user friendly interface, what u need most is on the desktop others in the drawer. In iPhone u have to arrange every app u install, u can just move in one way, what u have on front is the same old apps icons, android u have icons, widgets and more.
iPhone has one prop and that is app android has one con that is less apps thats it. everything is editable if u r rooted, u can edit anything u want, u have the source to the platform, u can build one urself, if u know coding u can add everything and anything to it
So Android is gonna have more apps in some time and iPhone will age sooner than intended. Comparing Rooted Android to iPhone is like comparing Gold to Brick. As i already told with ur android being rooted u can add any feature urself by editing directly in the source code, and iPhone u r stuck with Cydia developers who can change how the iPhone OS functions but can only add features

Did I miss something or there's nothing about, say, business capabilities - Exchange and Office support? Don't know how to label the post, but here's the question:
On the iPhone, I know there are office package(s) available, but here's what I want to know - how do you transfer files there? Do you get a documents folder or do you need to look for a directory with one of those cryptic names? Also, how does it handle email attachments? Can I save a ppt I receive for later use in the office program?
With regard to Exchange - can I have full support that will include push for Tasks, Email, Calendar and Contacts? Not push for the latter three and manual sync for Tasks?

Yes, good point. It must be considered.
What are "business capabilities" though? I think we need to have a good list of what these are. Let start with what you already got and add some to it myself:
- Exchange support (perhaps even MULTIPLE exchange support) for address, calendar, tasks, and email.
- Ability to edit and create office documents with reasonably complete functions in say excel spreadsheet.
- Saving attachments in email, editing them, and resending them out.
- Presence of client applications that works together with enterprise software such as SAP.
- Ability to remote wipe data from lost phones
- Ability to install corporate applications over the air
- Conference call or even video conferencing to substitute face to face meetings
- Printing of documents (e.g. customers require receipts, written quotation, etc)
- Ability to prevent data from physically removed from the phone via MicroSDHC card or alternatively ability to enforce highly reliable data encryption on data stored there.
- Ability to enforce use of password on phone?
- Ability to PREVENT it from becoming so much fun that employees spend all their time on facebook, chats, and games??? (Hence they would prefer RIM phones??)
Anyone else can think of what the corporate IT people might look for in choosing a corporate phone? Or is it more of matter of "the boss loves his iPhone, so we have no choice but to allow it?"
Thanks for this.

Can you comprehensively list in which areas iPhone is crippled? Sometimes people think that a phone can't do certainly thing, but it could be due to lack of awareness and knowledge of the capability. Thats' one of the reason for having this thread - to learn from each other. To get maximum benefit from each other's experience, let's keep our mind open to new information.

Really? This is new to me. I would like to offer a different perspective on this.
I know iPhone lets you install new programs and updates , buy music/video/movies, edit photo taken, compile musics, and make songs of your own, send files to another phone without going through a computer.
There are only three things that strictly requires computer:
a. Install new firmware and perform restore, which is once in a while event that I would rather use my PC anyway in view of how large the file is and how expensive my 3G data quota would cost me.
b. Performing backup and restore. This would also include backing up application data such as that for eWallet, GolfCard, PocketMoney, etc.
c. Syncing to outlook
You may see the need for a computer to do this as a negative, but I personally see that as a positive. Because with this I have the ability to backup my entire device and if my phone requires a restore/hard reset/or replacement, I can recover every applications including the data quickly. It is not practical to do backup of such large amount of data over the air. It is also not assuring from security viewpoint to keep any of your phone data in the cloud. The only place to keep them is your own PC.

In terms of length of a single battery, I really do not have any complaint against iPhone. It is more or less the same situation with the other HTC phones which I owned. It varies depending on usage pattern, brightness level, how tempted you are to look at the beautiful screen every 5 minutes, whether you leave location service/bluetooth/3G/wifi running, the strength of the cell signal, etc. Frankly, I think it's hard to say which battery is better due to the difficulties in measurement, different age of the batteries being compared, etc.
The only complain I had was the fact that it's non-replaceable.

Can you explain in what way it has the most user friendly interface? Here you're talking about the desktop/program launcher. So you said that the frequently used programs can be kept on the desktop along with widgets, etc, and then you can have "drawer" to contain the other programs, right?
Please tell me when you're in the middle of a program and wish to start a new program inside one of the drawers, what is the procedure to start that program. Is it 1)Menu to go to desktop 2) Swipe to the place where drawer is located 3) click on the drawer 4) touch the icon of the drawer?

You may or may not be right here. I don't know the technical aspect of the two platform to judge. However, for the purpose of this thread, as mentioned in post 1, we're only looking at the capability of the phone from the viewpoint of the masses of ordinary users out there, not the OS programmer. So, if you don't mind, I'd skip this. But just for curiosity, do you yourself modify the Android OS now by editing in the source code of Android OS?

In short, Kanbani is a robust and absolutely free (+ ad-free) task management app. Why not just use Trello or JIRA, you ask? Let us go straight to the point:
It allows to mix online and offline work, either alone or in a team, and sync to our servers or your own.
It has a fine-tuned user interface with bulk commands (create, share, delete, etc.), gestures and 1-tap pie menus – something that Trello still cannot do.
It can turn kanban boards into a traditional calendar-based organizer with the unique Timeline view – because a calendar sometimes does work better.
Trivial like file sharing, it can share boards for any web browser on any platform (example). The viewer is open source (MIT), no registration (QR code based sharing), plugins written in PHP and JavaScript, various import/export options (CSV, text, Trello, etc.), filters, print and vertical view (great for reviewing big boards on laptop), table of contents - and really lightweight (CSS+JS=30K). Check the README with screenshots for details.
Lets you organize text notes into cards or keep a journal with the convenient full-screen Description editor,
Every list can be customized individually with a rich set of settings: archive cards automatically on threshold, sort by Due Date, sync when an event occurs, show Description excerpts and so on.

Kanbani has been intensively tested to be fast even with great number of cards (thousands), lists, boards and descriptions (100,000+ symbols, per card). I personally have 1500+ cards, 500+ KB of JSON if exported.
But the best part really is collaboration and tinkering for power users and enterprise:
Create and join teams by sharing sync profiles as simple QR codes.
Sync over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, email, etc. using standard Android Sharing. Paranoids can also sync using just SD cards :laugh:
Encrypt sync data end-to-end with industry-standard cryptography (AES), verifiable using openssl: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniDataPHP/blob/master/sync.php#L75
Staying away from vendor locks and centralized services – host your own sync server if desired.
Write online viewer plugins in PHP and JavaScript. Integrate Kanbani into your workflow thanks to the documented data format: receive JSON, transform and feed back. See the in-app help for details and actual code.
We got standards all around: JSON, VCS/ICS, SHA/AES, SFTP (any Unix server), WebDAV (great for multiple concurrent users – supported by OwnCloud, NextCloud, Apache’s mod_dav and various cloud providers).
Wary users may obtain an APK without Google’s analytics ("Community" version) from this thread or the Kanbani’s homepage.
There are also dark theme, autosaving, widgets and more – check the app for details. Android 5+.
I am one of the Kanbani developers. Your suggestions and bug reports are more than welcome! Please post them here or send to [email protected] (or via our website).
Kanbani Web Viewer’s source code on GitHub. Sample Welcome Board.
PHP classes to read and write Kanbani data.
Kanbani’s home page with in-depth manual.
Kanbani’s Google Play page.
Kanbani’s Huawei AppGallery page.
I will take a look, thanks
Posted an update with bug fixes (major: SFTP not working) and a basic web viewer version - https://kanbani.pdapps.org/Welcome
Added PHP libraries to our GitHub: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniDataPHP - allow reading and writing serialized Kanbani data (including encrypted data) and QR code data. Used by the web viewer: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniWebViewer
Hope you find this interesting.
A little problem
Hi, the app is very interesting. I have a little problem on my OnePlus 5, in the "date" field the letters overlap (see images attached). Maybe the problem is due to the translation in the app (the language is in Spanish).
Very good work! Thanks for the app!

Thanks, indeed it appears that our Spanish translator used too long words (I noticed a couple of other places as well). Do you think this is your language's feature (and that we must fix the UI to support longer texts) or that the translator simply picked bad wording?
The translation is ok, I think:
- The calendar is a bit small to choose the date.
- You can choose another font type to the translation of "due date" or "deadline"/"limit date".
Sorry for answer late.

Thanks for the feedback. We will revise these details together with the translator in the upcoming weeks. It's just strange that only Spanish version has this issues.
Next week we will publish an updated web viewer with interesting features, and its source code.
Hi, I've seen the same screens in English and have some suggestions for the screens in Spanish:
- You can write "Due date"/"Fecha de vencimiento" and "No deadline"/"Sin fecha límite" in 2 lines, something like this:
Fecha de Sin fecha
vencimiento límite
- In the calendar, the name of the days in Spanish shouldn't have a dot at the end and remove the accent mark (Lun Mar Mie Jue Vie Sab Dom). Some calendars only have the initial letter of the day (in English: M T W T F S S, in Spanish: L M M J V S D).
- The plus sign in "+7 days" looks much better instead of writing as "Más...". Keep the same in Spanish ("+7 días").
About the app:
- I haven't seen any option about alarms, maybe I missed that part.
- Black/Dark theme?
Thanks!

Hey, thank you! Sadly, I do not know Spanish at all so I had to trust the translator and it looks like he overdid a few things. Noted, will double check.
As for the "no due" in form, the problem is to keep the form compact, meaning conditionally adding second line for Spanish only (and it looks strange that Spanish needs that but say Portuguese doesn't). But this must be fixed in some way, will see.
To be sure, we are talking about Spanish (es), not Spanish-Mexico (es-mx) localization, right?

Today we have pushed source code for Kanbani Web Viewer, that can be interesting for some people, especially since it's plugin based (PHP, JavaScript) and easy to customize. I have updated the first post with more info. Also check the README with screenshots on GitHub: https://github.com/PDApps/KanbaniWebViewer/
Any feedback is welcome, as usual.

I have made corrections to the translation except for day names in the calendar - sadly this is a 3rd party component that we can't change yet (but we have plasn to replace it in the future). These fixes together with due date alerts will be available next Friday.
New version
Update (1.3.2):
Added Due Date Notifications preference
Showing error details in Check Connection, not just "online"/"offline"
Improved validation of Sync Base URL (fixed crashes)
Showing weekday names in card list and Timeline
Made Timeline past colors more pale, Today thicker
Sync popup called from Main Menu now saves changes immediately
Kanbani is now available at Huawei AppGallery:

We have added this feature in the last update (enable it via Preferences > Hierarchical). It is very basic for now (one notification is added per card, at the time that is due), we should improve it with time.
That being said, I suggest using Timeline for checking tasks when their due date is important, this is exactly what Timeline view is for.
This update doesn't include language fixes due to translator not making it in time. We will release a new version around Tuesday that will have Fecha / Sin fecha in the card editing form instead of current Fecha de vencimiento / sin fecha de vencimiento. Does this translation make sense to you?
Status update: in the end of October we will release an update with dark theme and widgets.
New version
Update (1.5.1):
Added Dark mode/theme.
Added automatic saving of cards to protect against accidentally unsaved forms (crash, low battery, etc.). Such cards are available from Settings and Alert Bar below the card list.
Added Defer button to card form to delay saving it until later (if a new card needs to be immediately created).
Added a "new card" main screen widget.
Reduced font size in Timeline cells.
Adding extra columns on the right in Timeline for easier card creation.
Applause for such a neat task-management app. I especially love how privacy-focused it is.
I am not sure if this is something everyone needs be concerned with but I experienced an error trying to start/install the web viewer:
[error] 3748#3748: *89 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: preg_match(): Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 10 in /usr/share/nginx/html/kwv/helpers.php:72
I was able to fix this by adding a "\" to line 72 of helpers.php so that the section of code reading ([\w-.]+) instead reads ([\w\-.]+).
Now I just need to get other parts of the webviewer to work:
[error] 5503#5503: *5 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Access to the script '/usr/share/nginx/html/kwv/backgrounds/zq-lee-Q6H4SwjsAdI-unsplash.jpg' has been denied (see security.limit_extensions)" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.254.11, server: moonpi.local, request: "GET /kwv/backgrounds/zq-lee-Q6H4SwjsAdI-unsplash.jpg HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "moonpi.local", referrer: "http://moonpi.local/kwv/?profile=Welcome"
All in all, great work on what is shaping up to be a great system.
