Does anyone know how to get the Voicemail | 1 icon off the today screen?
I want to keep the plugin on the today screen as I use the photo part of it for speed dial, but I want to get the voicemail one off. There was another one that I was able to delete, but it seems that palm wants us to keep the voicemail one on there if we use the speed dial feature. I go to setup and try to delete it, but it says it can not be deleted.
Thanks for the help/hack.
Start>Settings>Today>Items TAB (at bottom)> select speed dial>OPTIONS>select VM icon>MENU>DELETE
That's not what I asked. I know how to delete it completetly, but all i want to do is delete the voice mail icon not the whole speed dial option.
For someone who doesn't want to go out and find his/her own answers you could certainly be more friendly towards the people that are trying to help.

Obviously - you did not know the answer either. I was not trying to be antogonistic by any means. But I thought that the questions was fairly clear in stating that I did not want to delte the entire feature. Just the voicemail icon. And yes, I have researched this quite a bit and I can not find the answer to my question.
Don't wear your feelings on your sleeve man!

Yes you are right. Just change the label & shortcut key on the voicemail button. You can also link a contact with a photo so the ugly button does not show.
thanks for the tip!
Assign the Voicemail button to a contact with a picture. It moves it up to the picture row and gets around the "can't delete voicemail" problem.
awesome!
hello,
i've probably spent more than an hour now searching for the answer to my question:
is it possible to directly send a photo via email with my i780? if i press the send button in the camera app it automatically creates an mms, which is not what i want.
if this is not possible with the builtin app, is there any other way?
i'm really disappointed, even my 2+ year old nokia phone could do this out of the box...
thank you!
silly question i know... but you have setup an email account on your phone yes?
yes i did
i'm pretty sure it's the samsung camera app which is causing this. i spent my morning reading the msdn library and have since put together a quick and dirty solution... although i still can't believe that this can't be done with the standard application.
create new email, add your photo as an attachment. (or you can just send the "mms" to the email address)
sending mms to e-mail addresses is 30cents each here, so this is not an option
and of course i can just add my picture as an attachment after: closing the camera, going through the start menu to open messaging, create a new e-mail, select the right picture after selecting the right folder, add text. but this will take a(t least a) minute and is not what i wanted
directly mailing pics should be a standard feature on every phone with a camera...
anyway, if anyone is interested in what i wrote, i'd be glad to give out the source code (there's much room for improvement) on request.
Hi bocki! Can you please tell me how to do your quick and dirty solution. I have the same problem and I want to send a photo taken staright from the camera application. Thanks for letting me know how this works! Can you maybe even post it here? Thank you very much!!!
hey,
i attached the binary i'm currently using to this post. it needs the .net compact framework 3.5 (because i suck at everything else than c# and has currently no error handling at all, so if your device is not supported (which unfortunately i can't try out, it worked on my i780 and on the device emulator, so i guess that's a good sign!) you might even have to softreset...(but probably the app will just crash and nothing else will happen)
on first use, you will have to select the right e-mail account - it gets saved when you close the app and will be chosen automatically on subsequent starts.
if you have any problems, please let me know (it's best if you drop me a pm), i might be able to help!
[edit]new version on the next page, you'll probably want to get the newer one.[/edit]
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!!!!
Any way I can change the size of the picture I am sending? I believe I can only choose 640. I would love to send a different size, too.
Also: The pictures gets saved into "Eigene Bilder". Anyway I can change the folder name in the registry?
Excellent work!!!! Thank you so much!
hey
glad my program is of use to others as well...
the "eigene bilder" destination is due to me hardcoding the german path, i will think of a better solution
the same goes for the resolution, as i said, this was quick and dirty (and by dirty i mean really really really ugly. ) - but i will fix this.
if you have any knowledge of c#, you may be able to fix this yourself, let me know if you need the sourcecode
i will address these issues as soon as possible and keep you posted!
skipping university in favour of coding was a good idea!
i implemented very basic error handling - if your camera is not supported, you will now get a very generic and vague error message
the same goes for invalid resolutions and folders, which can now be configured after the first start. (the first start will reset the path to \my documents\my pictures and the resolution to 640x480) sorry, no fancy dialogs, you'll have to enter the full path yourself (but you only have to do this once, so i hope this is okay).
any problems or other feature requests? let me know, i'm currently in the right mood
Hi Bocki! Thanks for looking at these issues. I am not too worried about the any of them, the folder is fine with me. But resolution would be very nice. Unfortunately, I cannot program it myself. :-( Thanks again for sharing!
please see the post directly above yours and try out the new version
Oops! I must have missed that, sorry! Great application, Thank you! I found out that if I put in 800*600, the camera starts with 1600 and I can choose my desired resolution. If I put in 1024*768 I don't get a choice. Would be great if one could also determine fine, normal etc...
Dont miss too much Uni, hehe.
Are you currently in Germany?
Hi!
I've just published my first app on the market - it's called Epistle.
It's a very simple text editor that can sync your notes with Dropbox; I will add folder support and note search soon.
Since all I've got is an old HTC G2 I'd appreciate if someone could help me test it (especially the synchronization mechanism).
You can find the app here: kooklab.com
Thanks.
Looks nice. Love the interface. However I am getting an FC whenever i hit "Sync". Account linked, I turned off all the automatic syncs, have reinstalled. I don't see any activity in my dropbox. Have attached logcat.
The only thing I would change is the note title field. I appreciate how other notepads use a bit of the first note line as the title.
You need to make a donate version, btw. I have been jonesing for a PlainText-alike and would happily pay for one!
Hi!

There is a stupid bug that prevents the app to perform the very first synchronization.
I'll push an update soon.

Hi! I like your app, but there is one thing I don't like. You should be able to give an option name to the folder it creates in dropbox. I'd rather have a folder named "Notes" than "Epistle", no offense to your namechoice.
This app is awesome!
I've now a Todo-list on my desktop and phone, synced!
Good work. I really like the idea.
Some comments:
1. I agree regarding the aforementioned opinion on the titling of notes. If no personal title is entered, the note should display the first line of the note in the overview list.
2. When you create a new note, the title is highlited and can be entered. However, as soon as the orientation of the phone changes (e.g. to landscape) the cursor is in the beginning of the text field and the title of the note cannot be changed. The same goes for the use of a hardware keyboard. When I flip my Desire Z open to use the hardware keyboard the same thing happens.
3. Deleting notes: The app should refresh by taking the latest changes into account. If I remove the note on the phone it should disappear from Dropbox. If I delete a file from dropbox, it should delete the note in the app.
4. Discarding notes. It should be possible to get back to the list view without saving a note. It's a good idea to have the note saved automatically when you press back. But you might provide a "discard note" option when you press "menu" while editing a note.
Regards,
Becksman

I'll add the option to change the sync folder in some future release.

In landscape you should still be able to hide the virtual keyboard (with the back button) and double tap on the title to edit it.

If you delete a file from the phone everything works as expected; the other way around at the moment cannot be implemented - with the current API there is no way to tell if a file has been deleted from dropbox.

This is also coming in the future.
The new release fixed the sync right up. Thanks!
I am getting ready to import ~500 notes from simplenote. We'll see how it goes.

You're right. I tried that earlier and somehow it didn't work. I'd still prefer the cursor not to jump out of the title if I switch the orientation or open the hardware keyboard.

For me it's not working either way round. I "removed" 2 notes in the App and in my Dropbox they still appear. When I start the App they however don't show up anymore. I tried hitting "Sync", which resulted in a FC. However I just tried it again - created a new note, synced it and removed it again. This time it somehow worked.

I'll soon push another update on the market that should resolve most of the sync problems.
Would sorting by modification time or search be possible? The UI is perfection, but with many, many notes i get confused while navigating
Please ignore gregory's comment on the market. Unix line endings ftw.
Hey, i downloaded this yesterday! I'll provide any help needed!
By the way, love the latin root for the name.
It looks really pretty. The only reason I'm not going to give it a try is that Simplenote sync is currently a requirement for me.
But your attention to aesthetics pleases me
Thanks, thanks a lot for this app. Working great on my HERO, and finally I can sync my notes between my phone and my Linux desktop!
I don't mind the folder name or even the reverse sync issue, but I've got a few ideas on improving this. For example, you should stick to a notes format (like TiddyWiki) and give us ability to remark (bold) text, create check-able lists of items inside a note.... with transparent formatting (for example, *text* should bold, []item1 []item2 should create a check-able list, !subtitle for that exactly that and so on...). I think it should not be very difficult to implement and it could lead to, perhaps, a web app complement.
This app has tons of potential uses and improves. Thanks again.
Ever since I got my Samsung Captivate I've been using its built in memo pad for months. The fact that I couldn't export my notes was kind of a bummer. Now with your simple app, taking notes has never been simpler.
I'll try to report bugs when I see them. Thanks.
Been looking for something like this for ages, thank you.
Yesterday it worked fine, but today I'm getting FCs every time I open it on my Hero.
I'm about to test this in the Nook Color.. Thought the title "Drop-Notes" might be best appropriate for its key function :- )
All the minimal features are AWESOME thus far!
I've been using AK Notepad for the past few months.
I DON'T LIKE that it requires their webapp at catch.com to sync.
I REALLY LIKE that yours is very simple.
The only feature that I liked in AK Notepad, that I would like for you to implement would be #hashtags. This would make categorizing notes much simpler on both ends of the sync.
Along with the hashtags, a simple filtering system would be great!
And perhaps a customizable widget, that displays ONLY a set hashtag?!
Great job!
I'll be the first to donate/buy when you choose that route.
I can't link my dropbox account. the link button does nothing for me. It lets me enter my email and password, but thats it.

I did do a search on this and found other similar questions but no real answers, so if you have seen this answered before feel free to "linky dinky" thanks!!
so when I go to "share via" a pic I get options, too many.... really I only need FB, email. and MMS, is there a way to trim this down? right now I get 2 FB, twitter, BT many more etc., I just don't need them all.... this should be my fist post here, hope I came across ok!!!

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.
I've just switched from iPhone and I must say the android world is a little less intuitive. I cannot find a way to select the image and copy to the clipboard to paste in the email application. Am I missing an option to enable it somehow.
much appreciated. Its the AT&T galaxy s6 edge.
sorry for such a question.
Welcome to the android world.
Android is more intuitive than ios though there is a learning curve to it.
Coming back to your issue, if you want to attach 1 picture then you can click that picture and then click share and select your email app. If you want to send more than 1 picture then long press the picture in the current folder and it will have a checkbox, select all pictures you want then again click share and select your email app. Sharing is one if the biggest feature of Android. You can share information very easily between various apps. Enjoy.

Hemant, Agreed that the sharing is an option, however if I have already composed an email and just want to paste an image form the gallery, there is no option to "Copy to clipboard". That is a big miss. in iOS that just works naturally. Is there a workaround besides sharing.?

A friend showed that he gets the copy menu when he presses the options menu button on the left however on the S6 it beings up the apps list vs the menu that shows copy to keyboard option. Is there a way to add the copy from picture to clipboard?
Just press the "attach" button, that's what its there for. To attach things. A little less "intuitive" means not meant for old people and children lol

You can open up multi-window both the gallery app and email app then simply drag the image from one window to the other.

thanks for the tip. I'll try this out. but I can't believe there isin't a copy to clipboard or a simple copy highlight like the iOS. I'm not trying to point out but there are lots of these nifty things that lack when move to the android platform. I finally landed up with a good email client called Nine. However nine does not do anything besides exchange.
Copy to clipbaord is a big miss. On positives, I do like the wireless charging and the curved display and the integration of whatsapp calling as a regular call vs iOs.

Which email app do you use? Not all apps support copy/paste of images (since this is purely a Samsung Touchwiz function and not an Android one).
Try to force copy/paste: with both multi-windows open click on the middle white circle which opens up the multi-windows options. The second option from left is a force copy/paste (the icon looks like 2 windows, a black one in front of a white one, then a black finger icon at the front). Click that icon then click and drag a image.
See if that works.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm using Nine email. I'll try out the force copy/paste.
I just moved from a moto x gen 1 with 5.0 to galaxy s6 5.1.1.
Copy and pasting images on the internet used to be so easy, now I can not do it to save my life. What am I doing wrong?
Still searching for a way to copy and paste images. There must be a way. Teach me, I'm a sponge.

I just came across this post while looking something else up. However, I know it’s over a year old and it’s actually easy to accomplish this so I am assuming you figured it out. But just in case, if you still want to know how to do this let me know and I will send you back a couple of ways to accomplish this. Also, IMO, Android is way more intuitive. I am typing this on an iPad and using the clipboard (not necessarily adding pics to an email (they’re actually the same on Android or iOS), but using the actual clipboard) on this device I actually think is a pain. I find it much easier on Android. So if you still need help, please post back. I’m sorry I didn’t notice this sooner. Take care.
it is not possible to copy images to the clipboard using a Samsung phone. This seems like a huge miss because it is. i used to hate Apple, but this one feature is enough... never again will i purchase an android device.
