Program that emulates HTC's flip over the phone to silence? - Android Apps and Games

Hey
Some HTC phones have a feature that if you flip over the phone so the screen is looking towards (for example) the desk, it silences the phone and/or hangs up the incoming call.
Anything like that for nonstock?
Thanks

You can use Tasker. Lots of options with it.

Look for an app called Flip4Silence. It works well for me.

Flip4Silence is actually pretty good.

Not sure which phone you have, but the Galaxy S II and the Skyrocket both have this feature built in.

E-mail and text notifications...

Is there a way to make the display light up when a text or email come through? The little blinking light and almost inaudible tone are killing me...

For text I am using the free app Handcent SMS. It has options for a quick reply window to pop up, even when the phone is locked. If you're familiar with Bitesms for the iPhone its similar to that. Don't know of anything for emails, but have never really looked.

WebOS text messages like sync for Android?

So I watched a video with the new WebOS devices. And they had this type of sync for text message's.
So if I am playing on the webos tab and my webos phone gets a text, it will be sent to the tab as well.
Is there a way to have text message on Android device do the same?

You could use GO and back up your SMS, send it to your other device via email and then load it up.
Other than that I do not know how to sync messages.
AFAIK, it's there in 3.x. Don't have anything to test just yet

This is one thing that has me looking at the new webos devices.
To many times I am doing things on my tab and have to go look for my phone to see who sent me a text.Me

G2X as Desktop PC port Petition

Hey everyone. User, Lokifish, over on the Evo 4G forums ahs developed a way to use the Evo4g as a desktop PC. He fields requests to port his stuff as long as there is a desire for the technology in the new device's community. This thread is a petition I am starting to have this tech ported to the G2X. I know not everyone would use it but it would help me out a lot. Im sure there are other folks out here that would like it as well. Here is a link to his thread so you guys can see what he's done with it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038840 Personally, my g2x is more powerful than my little netbook and i would much rather use the g2x all the time than have to mess with my PC. so please support guys. I love CM7, love Faux's kernel. LOve all the work you all have been doing for our device. Please just drop your name. say you would be interested so I can get Lokifish to port. Thanks everyone and if this is misplaced I apologize. I think it would be cool at the very least. Thanks guys!
hell yes this would be sweet!

Well if anyone can confirm this than i guess its a moot point. I already use LCD Density changer to give me mroe screen real estate. Would want to know if a pointer shows on the screen with BT mouse. Biggest thing would be implementing a windowed UI. that way we can switch apps quickly if using for desktop use.
That would be sweet. I am all for it.

Me.
I don't see which are the benefits of this over a PC at all.
I'm pretty sure CM7 supports all this already. I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard at home, and a HDMI cable.
Essentially what you do is lower the DPI setting to give you a Desktop-like resolution, then on a monitor it runs just like a basic Linux distro. A good email and office application, browser, etc. Basic stuff.
(FYI-This kind of stuff is why I wanted a separate power/HDMI port)

Is it possible

Is it possible to have the screen turn on when I get a notification ( I hate to say it but like the iPhone does you what I mean) ? Or what I need a third-party app to do that

By sub I mean an option inside a main option in settings... I know if you go to the message app like your going to send a text and hit the menu it will also bring up message settings too... It has been a long time since I've been on sense but I'm sure I saw that option somewhere.. Sorry for being so vague...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
No worries.
Yeah looks like the only setting is to show message on lock screen, but nothing to actually turn screen on when it arrives. I really only want this because I always have my phone on silent. When playing Xbox with headphones I miss everything but I guess that's a good thing lol.
Anyways thanks for the help

I don't ever remember hearing about that option built into a rom--
But, as Google is your proverbial friend--maybe this--it is for text messages, maybe something else available for more notifications--

I use this app, simple and does exactly what it says it does. Turns on your screen when you get a text, nothing more nothing less.
I bought the pro version, there is also a free version that does the same thing.
There used to be an stock option in sense, I'm not sure what version they took it out in.

You can also do it with Tasker (and a lot more).

What TV Control Options?

Thinking on getting rid of my Note 3 and getting the M8. I wanted to know if it has the ability to change the source on a TV and navigate through the menus with arrow/enter buttons or something? Also, can you control it from the notification shade? See the attached pictures of what the Note 3 has.
Thanks!

Yes it controls my Samsung plasma and led TV. Input controls all work. No on the notifications screen.
It does have a feature for the notification pull down. IMO, the HTC remote app is far superior to that of Samsung's watch on.

LOL Yes, it does. And a very cool HTC TV app to control it. I find it funny this is now a huge deal...I remember doing this with my OLD Palm Treo 650 back in the day...and then the backlash for a long time on how an IR blaster is useless yada yada and phone companies got rid of them basically and now it has come full circle.
Also funny, off point, with all the tablets/swivel screens/fold back laptops/tablets now are the rage. I remember back in 2003 my company bought a bunch of these Toshiba Protégé laptops, which apparently was a decade ahead of it's time as those things never took off.
This is true , I have both phones gn3 and m8 ,but tv remote on m8 is for more superior to gn3 . Controls my fios Motorola eve,Samsung smart tv and Sony surround sound . Like a champ
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app
The tv app on the M8 is loads better than watch on, on my S4. Better range as well. It pulls all the channels from direct tv.. kinda like the Netflix layout. The volume rockers control volume on tv and you don't have to move from the attached screenshot to select channels. So, you can go to a particular channel and not have to " go back" to continue browsing...I'm actually using this. Every time I think this device couldn't get better, something pops out lol. Love it.
