PingChat! - How do you use smilies? - Android Apps and Games

I was told about an app called PingChat! yesterday from a friend using an iPhone. So I downloaded it for my Xperia X10 Android phone. Whilst it works fine, I cannot find any way to send picture smilies? I've been looking on their website, all over the net and yet I can't seem to find the answer.
I found an app that is meant to give you smilies, so I wrote my message in that and copy and pasted it into the PingChat! app and I just had a load of misunderstood characters (squares)
Am I missing something really stupid here? As some might know, the X10 is running 1.6 firmware, so this could possibly be the problem if all else fails.

Tellme Application for the HD2

Hi Guys,
Just wanted everyone to know there is a free app called:
http://www.tellme.com/you
Its like Microsoft Voice Command.....maybe it is....maybe its whats included in the new WP7S, however its an app that works on 6.5 and its great, fast and I actually like it.
Take a look and watch the video too.
got a cab of it?
Right, It's USA only... HD2 isn't even on the list and not downloadable on that website.
So whats this post all about?
There is a cab available, it does work on the HD2, to a certain extent. It's from the Samsung Intrepid, which I believe is a non-touchscreen phone, so touchscreen doesn't work properly (and we don't have arrow keys to compensate).
The program promises a lot, but delivers poorly. The voice recognition is quite poor (on my Scottish accent anyway). It can dictate a text message, but you'll be lucky if it picks up anything you're saying correctly.

Thats true it doesnt work properly with non-american accents. I tried to search for La Tasca, it came back with a resualt of blackass.com ???????
I had to speak slow, but it did work eventually.
Out of interest, do anyof you have a cab for Microsof Voice Command ? I have the 1.6 version however it doesnt work on my HD2

Make sure you use the corect MVS, i used 1.6 and it killed phone, not responsive to anything so hard reset saved me.
It actually requires MVS to work correctly but as others mentioned, its not good. Unlike the Youtube demo, it barely recognised what i say on several occasions and i spoke very cleary, slow and with no strong accent etc. Needs alot more work.
does not work at all on my hd2
i installed it and it loaded initially, then when i try to start it, it doesnt come up at all. i tried to install a new version of microsoft compact framework or whatever but then the phone will tell me i have to remove the previous version ,but then i obviously cant b ecause it does not appear in the remove programs list. this is very frustrating, can anybody help me?

Only worry about a newer version of .Net if you're actually told by an application that you need it. Also, when installing something and it tells you you need to remove the existing version, that means it's already installed. The .Net 3.5 installation will not tell you you need to uninstall .Net 2.0, so you've already got the version you tried to install. Just forget about it.
I believe it needs MSVC to work, although I'm not sure. I think I had to install MSVC.
I've never installed it since, since it was so crap - I have a very neutral accent, and even tried an American accent, but it was still pish.
i have it on my TP2......it suuuucks and my accent IS american, lol.
btw, it will put asterisks in place when you use curse words, haha, at least it recognizes them with no problem, go figure!
I tried to send a text message, it got everythin right, but the message just sat in my outbox ...
Anyone else try this??

i just noticed that 'translation', blackass.com, lol. i wonder what you would have got if you DID ask for blackass.com! :O) ahhh, technology, more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys at times!
better this , voice ommander or something else? just to understand the maerket now
works great on my tmobile htc hd2
Oh, I hate TellMe so much I want to scream. I've managed to successfully use it on two occasions (where it actually understands what I've said). More often than not, it simply "thinks" and "thinks" until, ultimately, saying "Sorry, didn't catch that". I don't doubt that it works great for some people, but for this thick-accented outer-Bostonian, TellMe is an exercise in futility (and definitely not an app to break out to show off the HD2's power!!).

I'm having the same problem.
I downloaded the TellMe application for HD2 at mobile underground
I have installed the WMPPC_TP_TP2_HD2.cab on my device and the application runs but when I send a text message the message appears to send ok but then gets stuck in my outbox. The message stays there until I send a text the old fashion way and then all the text messages are sent out.
The instructions on the mobile underground website say to make sure you have .NET CF 3.5 version:
*TELLME*: Install NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.zip first on your WM PPC, before installing the TellMe App, get it here media..fire...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But, I when I tried to install this I received a message saying I already had a newer version. See screen shot showing my 3.5.9198.0 version of the .NET Compact Framework. So, I'm assuming I have a newer version that should work with the TellMe but so far I have been unable to get it to send text messages properly.
Also, I'm running Voice Command v1.6.21889 , which came on the phone originally.
Has anybody else had this problem? Anybody know of a solution?
I have two T-Mobile HD2's sitting here with this installed, all work fine, except the same outbox issue on texts. I wonder what could be the issue or if there was some way to trigger the sending automatically.
I have an idea but not sure how to make it happen.
Obviously the TellMe application is only composing the message and putting it in the outbox.
So, the HTC Messaging should be able to periodically tell that a message is waiting or simply just try to send messages every now and then. After looking at the option in the Settings->Options while you are in the message application you can see that there are 4 options for Delivery: Immediate, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week.
I wonder if there was a way to set the delivery at 1 second if it wouldn't try to send the message. This is just an idea and I'm not very experienced in customizing phones but I do some programing and could see this as a possibly.
____
The other option would be to write a small program that would check the outbox and send any messages in it. Then you could use voice command or tell me to run the program by creating a short cut the this small program and calling it "Send Messages" or something like that.
Anybody have comments or suggestions on either of these ideas?

HTC Sense Stock app/widget?

Hi all,
When I was using Android 1.5, I used to use the HTC Stock app and widget a lot. But since moving to 2.1 a week ago, I have not yet been able to find a replacement I tried few apps from the market but nothing feels quite right. Why isn't the HTC Stock app in the 2.1 Sense roms anyway?
So does anyone know whether I can get the HTC Stock app and widget back? Perhaps from an APK.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a widget from the Market (free or paid) that I can have lots of shares displayed at once?
Thanks.
The stock app is included in 2.1 as long as you're running a Sense rom. If it's not there the developer probably just removed it from the rom to save space. I can't help you out with the APK but it shouldn't be too hard to find on here.
Ah I see! I'll ask the developers. Thanks.
So, have you found it? I'd like to try it too, if you have.
Unfortunately not!
I've been googling up and down and searching on here, Modaco, Vaillain, etc, but still haven't found it.
A bit off topic of the original post...but the thread title works and I didn't think a whole new thread was necessary.
So here's my question;
Is anyone else experiencing problems with the HTC Sense Stocks application in that the 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, and 2Y graphs are not showing the correct data. Only the 1D and 5D charts work.
I'm not sure at what point this problem occurred...cause I know it use to work. Just curious whether it was something I did to my device (flashing a custom ROM), or whether others are seeing the same problem...in which case this would suggest there is something wrong with the servers from which the application downloads the charts from.
Yes, I'm seeing the same problem. I haven't done anything to my phone yet, so I doubt it's a problem with the phone...
If you tell me where the app is ill gladly upload it

Hi,
a few weeks ago, i changed from WinMo to Android. Now I am a proud owner of a galaxy...
Unfortunatly, the galaxy comes without sense. So I am missing the Stocks widget, too. The good thing on that app is that it uses yahoo! finance as data source. Yahoo! finance offers more markets than Google Finance does. Yahoo Finance has an app for Android. But if I am looking for it in the market, it's not available. But it's available on appbrain...
Here is the link: http://www.appbrain.com/app/yahoo-finance/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.finance
And this is the link for Yahoo! Finance for Android: http://mobile.yahoo.com/finance/android
I would be glad, if someone get's this to work and could upload the *.apk

P.S.
Excuse my poor English
I also could not find Yahoo Finance in the market.
I managed to install Yahoo Fianance from the following link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/36281/yahoo!-finance-for-htc-hero/
However, when I opened the app, it just open up the browser linking to mobile yahoo finance site.
Not too sure how to get it working properly as an app.
hi.
get "market enabler", fake a provider in the u.s. and you'll find yahoo finance in the market.
as an alternative i can recommend "stock watcher". has a great ui and offers some widgets.
have fun!

[Q] [REQ] FreeRapid Downloader Android Companion!

Hello guys, was wondering if anyone already came u with a simple app I'd really like to sport.
As you may know, the (PC) program in the title handles downloads from most file uploading services (rapidshare, megaupload, fileshare, even youtube...), but from time to time it asks for a verification (that is "Write what you read in the box"): obviously, it won't download anything until I input the code. Now, is there any way to be informed on my Desire about this request (so I can VNC/Web TeamViewer to the computer and do that), maybe even have the code sent to the Desire and being able to reply and have the code input in the computer. This way, ther would be no dead download times with ease! Anybody willing to put something together? Or is there something similar already? May I ask FRD developers first?

[Q] what happened to TVShows7

I saw an application called TVShows7 before, and couldn't see it any more. What happened?
It is a really nice application
thanks for any information about it!
I use TVShow lite ...from marketplace...
Its a nice app that its also free ..maybe you should try it..
IMO its the best TV app out there
I think these two are different. Tvshows7 is able watch TV shows over internet,not a TV show track.
I used this app, it was awesome but after some time it started returning results for files and programs instead of tv shows....I uninstalled it
Bump!
Also trying to locate the xap, filestube and google turned up nothing but links to the thread here, but it seems to be locked. anyone know why?? curious if anyone has the xap still laying around they might be willing to upload here or rapidshare.

[Q] Wahtsapp + contactpics problem

Hey guys,
i and probably other seem to have this problem...
i flashed a new rom and everything else is working fine.. i synced my google contacts with my facebook contacts and they all have a nice picture in the contacts categorie as it should be.. also if i receive a sms or somebody calls me it shows the picture
but when i go into wahtsapp it shows only the green android symbol..
a few wich have a picture directly in my google account are shown, but not the majortiy with the fb pics
anybody an idea how i could manage for it to show the fb pics also
waht i find funny is, that a before i flashed to sense 3.5 it all worked like it is supossed to
best regards,
Hey, it may be so that with flashing the new rom your facebook contacts(and their respective pictures) are suddenly not accessible by third party apps. You can try the Photo Unlocker app made by ChainsDD. The app is legit and just requires a rooted phone.
Good luck and let me know if you find a fix as i had the same issue. Happily enjoying MIUI now tough
Kind Regards.
seems like a solid idea.. you mind sharing a download link?.. seems thats its not on the market anymore =(
Well that's strange, i guess it was actual doing its job then. Unable to find any legal free versions after a quick browse, can't help you anymore then unfortunately.
Anybody perhaps with an different idea?
Did you not get my private message?
ups.. didnt saw it.. but it worked great big thx to you
funny part.. i asked chainsDD yesterday on twitter why he took it down from the market and he responded:
"because it's broken... and I haven't had the time to fix it... :-(" .. seems that he was wrong
