Train Departures..
Nice one sproxy, good find. Very handy...

Thanks,
Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi i get cant connect to server will this be the national rail end down?

Pretty sure the web site is up
Was you Internet connection ok at that moment? Could you access the site in the browser for instance?
It downloads directly from their web site so there are no other servers involved.

Very handy, thanks!

Connect to Server..
@hardm2000
It seems not to connect to the server if you select a minor station along the route between two major stations..

Hi,
Could you give an example so I can see if it is possible to fix?
I have performed the following test:
Selected Huddersfield as origin and Dewsbury as destination.
Looked up the journey and the application has downloaded Manchester Airport to Middlesbrough service and displayed the information correctly.
If you could give me an example, I will give a try.

Network Rail..
OK. There is a service that goes from London Liverpool Street to Norwich stopping at stations along the way. One of these is Diss. If you select Diss to Liverpool Street it will not connect to the Server..

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I have fixed it and will be uploading the new version soon.

waiting for the update version with fix...also was having issue with server not connecting.
also its a brilliant little app...

Hi there,
When did you download it? I have uploaded the fixed version yesterday evening and it seems to have fixed the issue for me.
Let me know if you tried the latest and still have an issue.

A CAB or some installation instructions would be appreciated from anyone using this sucessfully.
Thanks.

Hi there,
You can unzip the files and then copy into your sd card. You can then launch the exe.
I will make a cab file later tonight.

Connect device to computer. Press 'Explore in Activesync window. Then go to the folder where you've unzipped the files. Right click on the UK Train times.exe & select 'Copy'. Then go to Windows/StartMenu/Programs folder, right click 'Paste Shortcut' & you now have a shortcut to the app in Windows Start Menu. This will allow you to add the app to your Quicklinks in Sense. Cheers!
By the way sproxy, many thanks for this useful little app.

You are welcome and thank for helping out.
I have also added a cab file (same version) and updated the original post. I still think zip file is the easier way but at least now there is an option.

Thanks for this brilliant little app sproxy, it works perfectly.
As you said in the instructions, it currently only works on direct journeys. Have you any idea, if and when this will change ? It would be great if you could put in your final destination and it will tell you where to change and the train times from there aswell.
Also, arrival times would be handy.
Thanks again for your work on this.

Looks pretty good
Hope you can have pricing similar to iphone apps of $1 ? *wishful thinking?*
It would be a definite buy if you can do something similar to bloomberg portfolio tracker.
I am accessing that currently from opera and the whole portfolio fits into the screen in landscape mode perfectly
I buy shares in Hongkong, Singapore, Australia and denominate them in Singapore dollars.
Hi wj888,
The app is currently on the UK marketplace for £3.19 . It has similar functionality to the bloomberg portfolio tracker, but it looks like my information has been spread over two main screens instead one wide landscape screen. I dont record the purchase date or the % portfolio but everything else is the same. These two changes I could make relatively easily.
The stocks that you can access are limited to what is available on the yahoo finance website, due to that being the underlying data source.
Thanks for your post.
works great (hd2), thanks a lot

Is it possible for you to add a feature where the data source could be pulled from somewhere else? Some of my stocks are not available on the yahoo finance website (Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm Exchanges)
Hi there it may prove to be a bit difficult since I may end up with a situation of one data source per stock exchange but I will investigate.
Thanks.

Would be extremely useful if end-users can actually choose their data source from a list of sources. A working version with me a green YES for me
Not working on my Tilt 2 ?
I purchased and downloaded the software from marketplace.The application opens, I go to share finder to search stock tickers and add to portfolio.Finds ticker symbols fine
It shows items were added to portfolio.I go back to main poage and none of my stocks show up.I try to EDIT PORTFOLIO or Valuation but they are greyed out.
Quotes delayed is permanently at the bottom.
When I explore the stocks.xml file it is blank.
Am I missing something obvious?
Does PUSH INTERNET need to be enabled?
I disabled the Push Internet feature from my phone to save sys resources.
Thanks
Ron
Clicking refresh in the bottom left hand corner should update your portfolio for you.
Hi Tony
Not sure why post didnt make it.I am
to search stocks,add to portfolio but hit the BACK button and there are no stocks displayed for the portfolio. So refresh does nothing.
Perhaps bad download from markeplace.Is their still a trial one to download.Not sure if there is still going to be another problem

Doesn't seem to offer a lot more than the built-in stock tracker.
Graphs would be great. (Like TinyStocks)
Multiple portfolios would be very wecome. (Again like TinyStocks.)
Think I'll stick with the latter for now but I really like the interface. Best of luck!
Hi Knobhead, thanks for your feedback and enhancement list, which I will try and take on board when porting the app to WinMo 7. The U.S.P of the app is to allow you to track your investment exposure to your equity portfolio on a single share basis or across your entire stock holdings.
I will take a look at Tiny stocks and do some gap analysis. Cheers

[App] PinDroid - Pinboard Bookmarks for Android

With the news of the impending doom of Delicious, I decided to switch both my own bookmarks and my development efforts over to Pinboard. PinDroid is a port of DeliciousDroid, an Android client app for Delicious that I was working on. Not all of the features have been ported over (mostly due to some api deficiencies), but basic bookmark syncing and CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functions are working.
Features
Background sync for bookmarks and tags
Bookmarks are cached to allow offline viewing and to reduce network traffic
Accounts managed through Android's built-in account manager
Bookmarks can be added in several ways:
A menu in the app
Directly from the browser via the "Share" menu
Bookmarks can be edited by long pressing and choosing "Edit"
Bookmark details can be viewed by long pressing and choosing "View Details"
Bookmarks can be deleted by long pressing and choosing "Delete"
Bookmark titles, tags and notes are searchable from both the global search and from within the app
Home screen widget and live folders
Code is licensed under the GPL v3 and is available on Github
Note: Requires Android 2.x (API Level 5+). Android 1.5 and 1.6 are not and will not be supported.
Known Issues
These are some of the known issues in the current build of PinDroid. Feel free to open an issue on the Google code project site if you encounter a bug/issue not listed here, or have an idea for an enhancement.
Only a single Pinboard account is currently supported.
Certain features from DeliciousDroid have not been ported yet due to limitations in Pinboard's API, including contact syncing and viewing network and popular bookmark lists.

No problem. Just wanted to make something that I would want to use. If other people find it useful too, so much the better
Be sure to let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions.
Hi.
Since the latest market update pindroid is not fetching the article description as it was before.
This is when I use the share page > pindroid setting in stock browser.
Cheers.

Thanks. I'll look in to that. Do you have an example of a page it wasn't working on?
Any page I try. It was working, I guess up until the update. I've uninstalled it and then reinstalled but it doesn't seem to be working.
If it helps? Im on an HTC desire running oxygen 2 rom.

Seems to be working fine for me. I didn't change anything related to the title fetch recently, but two versions ago, I changed what field gets focus when you enter the add bookmark screen. Instead of the url field getting focus immediately, now no fields get focus so the keyboard doesn't pop up unnecessarily. The trigger for the title fetch is when the url field loses focus, so if you never click in to the url field and then click in to another field, it will never trigger the title fetch. I thought I had something in there to force it to start as soon as you enter that screen if the url is already filled, but I guess I'll have to add that.
Anyways, try that and see if that's the issue: share a page, click the url field to focus it, then click into a different field to trigger the title fetch. If that's it then I'll push out an update later today that triggers it immediately instead.
Ah yes that works as you said but i have to have to click the URL field first. I usually would have just clicked on the tags field as there was no reason to edit the URL field.
Thanks for the help.
I've noticed another change and I'm not sure whether its intentional or not but when I used to save a bookmark this way I got a little pop up visual confirmation saying that the bookmark added was successful / unsuccessful. This doesn't seem to happen anymore. I thought it was really useful.
Thanks for your hard work by the way. This is a great app and is essential pinboard compliment.

I just pushed a new version with the title fetch fix. Thanks for the bug report.
In the last version I made some changes to the bookmark saving process to make it a little more streamlined. Instead of blocking while the server request is made, the save bookmark activity now runs that in the background and returns immediately after updating the internal database. If you see nothing, everything worked fine. If there was an error, you'll get a notification in the notification bar telling you there was an error. Clicking on the notification lets you try to save it again, or revert the changes to the database (to keep everything consistent). The goal is just to make everything more seamless.
Ah yes the new notification system is a better idea than what you had before.
Thanks very much for the update/fix. Its very kind of you. I can confirm its working great.

[APP] Clipboard + Notes 6.1.3 [08/12/15]

[APP] Clipboard + Notes 6.3.1 [04/05/2016]
Clipboard + Notes is a simple clipboard manager which watches your clipboard for any changes and saves its contents for later use. Contents can be starred and labelled, as well as added manually, which makes the app a handy tool for note taking.
The contents from the clipboard history can be copied into the clipboard again, they can be edited, deleted, searched, and shared too. When sharing links they can be optionally shortened if URLy is installed. Any links in the contents will be quickly picked up and extra options will be available to open or share them directly from the device. HTTP and Market links are amongst the supported types.
Clipboard + Notes can be easily turned off from the settings if it is no longer needed, and its operation can be customised to match the user's needs. The clipboard collection is intelligently stopped when the device isn't being used any more, which makes it very battery-friendly.
In addition it integrates with the Android Quick Search Bar so you can directly search your clipboard history. It further integrates with Google's cloud backup and restore, so any time you wipe your device your contents and settings will be restored the next time you install the application (only works on Android 2.3+ and backup/restore must be enabled in the 'Privacy' settings for your device).
A little extra hand is at help too in case you would like to share to clipboard. The app supports this functionality as well, so just pick something to share, and select Clipboard + Notes from the window. The item you just shard will now have been copied into the clipboard.

OK, will do it sometime during the week. I already have the two other features done, just testing them on my own device.
Thanks for the support
Version 1.2 is out, changes include:
Clipboard history will be saved across reboots and service shutdowns
Edit clipboard contents
Added date to older contents
Added fallback click option
Numerous bug fixes
Enjoy
P.S. Would it be helpful if the text which is currently in the clipboard was highlighted, for example the font was bold or text bigger? It is always at the top in the list, but not sure if that makes sense/occurs to everyone.
Hy I like your Tool. I look long time ago to find something like this.
There is one problem I recognized, sometimes when I press Copy Link it happen nothing in Clipboard Contents. Then I switch off & on the service and my Link is displaying in the History !

Hi, glad you like it
So let me understand this correctly. You have some items in the list, you long-click on one of them (not the top one), click copy to clipboard and nothing happens in the list? What should happen is that the one you copied should be moved to the top of the list. What happens when you click on 'Refresh'? Same thing as when you turn the service off and on, or is it different?
I've never had this issue happen to me so I'm just trying to understand whether there are some particular steps which make it happen. Anyway, I'll take a look at the code, but any extra information would be helpful. Thanks.
No, not like this. I want to copy an item to the List and nothing happens. Then I switch off and on the service ones a time then the copy works !!!

OK, I understand now... I think
The problem is that the service refreshes every X seconds, depending on how you have it set in the settings. If you copy something and open the list, the service might not have refreshed yet and therefore the item won't appear in the list. If you know you copied something and it's not there you should just hit the 'Refresh' button and it should appear, that's the reason why I put it there.
OK Thanks,
Version 1.3 is out with the following changes:
Links without 'http://' will be now detected
Added confirmation upon content deletion
Current clipboard content gets highlighted in bold
Text size for the list can be changed (see the settings)
Older items will be automatically removed (see the settings)
Many other fixes
Up on the Market and in the first post.
Why does a Clipboard app need "Full Internet access"?

OK. I think it is somewhat annoying that there isn't a separate permission for ad-only internet access, as that would probably make users more trustful of applications which request permissions that may have nothing to do with the app's functionality (such as this one).

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Some people may think that this is a dead application, but nope. I still have plans for it, but not enough time at the moment Anyway, here is the version 1.4 update:
Added support for shortening links using URLy when sharing them (only if URLy is installed)
Fixed a couple of small bugs
Tiny tweaks to the user interface
Simplified English localisation
New APK is in the OP and also on the Market. Enjoy.
Version 2.0 is out, with the following changes (many of which have been promised for a longer time):
New user interface
Restore clipboard at boot
Improved communication with the service
Persistent storage improved
Contents can be manipulated when the service is disabled
Integrated with Android's Quick Search Bar
Get it on the Market or in the OP (still free with ads)
Version 2.1.0 is out, in the usual places. Here are the changes;
Fixed list items too small
Fixed double notifications
Fixed clipboard erasure detection
Fixed status bar icon to match UI guidelines
Added cloud backup/restore for Android 2.2 and newer (must be enabled in device Settings -> Privacy)
On a side note, the cloud backup/restore service which Google provides for Android applications is rather cool. It's really simple to implement and use, so here's to hoping that more developers will include this feature in their applications

Description
The main purpose of the app is to make it simple for you when you:
* Need to ask someone for a ride and that "someone" is not bright enough to follow your directions.
* Have a date planned and your date has trouble locating you.
* You simply want to share your whereabouts.
* Are asked where you are and it's easier to show on a map.
Your location can be shared using SMS, Facebook or Email.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it alot if you could take some time to test it and/or let me know what you think of the idea.
If you choose to share your location through SMS you don't need an Internet Connection.

My questions are:
* Does the app work as you expect
* Is the idea good/bad?
* Is the app easy enough to be used.
I have loads of improvments planned, but I prefer waiting with those until I see there's a demand for
this app.
Requirements/Permissions
* GPS
Thank you for your time and feedback
Funny.. sometimes it's the simplest ideas that makes the best apps.

You're quite right
Thanks for taking the time to check it out, I appreciate it
I actually made it cause I got sick of trying to explain where I am to my wife I wanted to make it as simple as possible with as little requirements as possible.
Feedback anyone?
I've just made some changes:
When clicking the link you'll go straight to a page showing the map. The page is a bit different looking depending on type of browser used (mobile or desktop).
For reference, you may try this:
http://www.droidstop.org/l1.php/52.4768/-0.9126/Here I am
The reason for hosting the map on my own page is that the urls to google maps won't be parsed correctly in SMS messages, and you won't end up at the correct spot in google maps.
As the few of you who have tested it know, there's no need for an internet connection when sharing by SMS, I'm now thinking of adding these features (which would in turn require internet connection)
* Making the location url easy to remember so you're able to call someone and tell them verbally (something along the lines of droidstop.org/tri897)
* Adding more sharing options, such as twitter and a couple of popular messenger softwares.
* Perhaps have a "simple mode" option, which could work in offline mode. Have to think about that.
Anyone else has more suggestions?
Thanks for taking your time to read
New release out now:
* Friendly Urls (For example: http://www.droidstop.org/ELY070)
Each location you generate will get it's own unique, easy to remember URL.
(Having the friendly url option on, will require internet connection though)
* Share by twitter
* A new settings dialog.
Suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are still welcome, so give it a try.
Permissions required for update
* gps (location_fine)
* Internet
Thanks again
Just had a quick go, and it seems to work fine for me. Well done.
I have just one feature request. Would it be possible to get a history list of some kind to help me remember old locations?
Otherwise, looking real good.
New release published.
News:
- Share your location using any Installed app capable of sharing.
- Scrollable layout, for devices with smaller screens.
@androidvideo, history can be accessed from the options menu, and was implemented in the previous release...

Thanks, I appreciate it, be sure to send me a link to the review if you ever get it to work
There's an update coming within just a couple of days that can fetch your location based on network instead of GPS, that might fix the issue temporarily.
Cheers
Actually I decided to release a quick-fix.
Version 1.28
- Use WIFI for positioning if GPS is not enabled
- Opens Positioning settings if none is available
- Version Code shows correctly in splash screen
Permissions required
Internet
Access network state
GPS Positioning
Network Positioning
Cheers
really useful
very nice app!!!
Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it.
I have some great plans for this app, keep an eye out for following updates
Cheers
Version 1.29 has just been released.
To make it even more useful, your current address is shown on the shared map.
Also the map pages has been redesigned.
Hope you like it,
Cheers

very useful and funny app
Simple Idea with good implementation, thank for your sharing
Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it enormously
I've just released 1.3.
Completely redesigned, and I've put a lot of preparations in it to fit my plans for world domination
You may notice that it asks for a username/password and it can perhaps seem unnecessary but it's required as I need users to be able to sign in using a web interface very soon. (Don't worry, all you need to fill in is username and password, and an email address (doesn't even have to be a valid one for now))
This also means you can sign in on another device to share a location. In the next release you'll start notice more useful areas for this app.
Thanks for reading
Cheers

Can't seem to get it to run on my Motorola Atrix running CM7. App opens, i enable GPS, click the locate me now button and then the loading window pops up but never goes anywhere. Just stays loading.
Would love to use this app.
Hope this helps.
@j-roc, hmm thats strange.. If you turn off GPS, does it work using Network based location?
I just got my hands on a few devices for testing, I'll see if I can reproduce your issue in one of those. Thanks for reporting it!
Cheers

All apps: http://www.androidshed.com
µTV Free: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidshed.utv.free
µTV Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidshed.utv.pro
Also check out µInject: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466981
µTV simply works in 2 steps:
1. Add a TV show you wish to download.
2. Tap the big button to search for new episodes and send them off to µTorrent.
Note: Episodes are downloaded on your PC at home not on the android device itself.
**IMPORTANT** DO NOT BUY µTV Pro if you're poor... like me. The only difference is µTV Pro has no advertisements.
IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES:
- You can get µTorrent from http://www.utorrent.com
- In order for the app to function, you have to enable "Web UI" in µTorrent.
- Go to settings (on this app) to enter your µTorrent IP, PORT, Username and Password.
- The "Refresh" button searches for new episodes and the "Download All" sends them all to µTorrent.
- uTV can only find episodes that actually have verified torrents. It might not find non-popular TV Shows, old episodes or TV Shows that aren't recorded by seasons and episodes.
Changes
Code:
Update 0.8
- Major interface overhaul
- New interface works on Android 2.1+ only, I will release an alternative version for Android devices below 2.1
- Bugs squished!
Update 0.7
- Saving your settings will now verify them before proceeding.
Update 0.6.9
- Replaced the 2 buttons with one big one!
- you can now edit a TV show's season and episode.
Update 0.6.5
- Get latest episode option added (no need to specify season/episode if you don't want to any more)
- Small bug fixes
Update 0.6.3
- added token authorization support. no need to change µTorrent advanced settings anymore.
Update 0.6.2
- Yo can use ASCII text characters in the "Address" EditText box.
This app is just a tool that can be used for good or evil so please try to use the app legally.
enjoy
Sounds interesting

Done. Do you know why it's not compatible? It seemed to work fine on the ICS emulator.
not quite sure, both builds are fairly new on their devices could be an issue with build.prop

Does the apk work? I wonder if anyone else has the same problem
the APK does work, haven't setup utorrent yet i'll let you know.
edit: Just queued up an episode of pawn stars and it sent it just fine, i'm wondering if you can add folder choosing in your application? I know you can select your download folders for the webui would be great for us neat freaks to choose instead of it ending up in a default download folder.

You can use it to check for new episodes but you won't be able to download.
Perhaps (no promises) I'll add support for other bittorrent clients, uTorrent's web api was beautiful that's why I went for it.
Maybe it will work with uTorrent server for Linux http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux
I haven't tried it myself but I think you could use web ui from your browser to set it up.
µTV Beta updated to 0.6.1
µTV Beta updated to 0.6.2
- restricted incorrect user input (to eliminate exceptions caused by users who leave EditTexts empty!)
- added ability to use text as an address not just numbers; as requested by Asif Moosa
µTV Beta updated to 0.6.3
- added token authorization support. no need to change µTorrent advanced settings anymore

You'd get a warning email from your ISP if you download pirated movie, video games, music or software. New Zealand new laws 8ull5h1t.
However, I did not get any warnings for downloading Tv shows and I've been doing it for a long time. Use it wisely and at your own risk!
