First off, I want to thank everyone who has posted about rooting, removing bloat and overclocking, my poor old OG droid is now twice as fast as stock and the tweaks were as easy as eating Skittles on the couch. Oh, and I loved the newb video, and after reading this site for a while I think it may not be harsh enough.
Anyway, I have had an idea for an app that I have searched extensively for, and have not come up with anything even close. I'm no coder, barely understand the concept, so I submit this idea to the community in hopes that if you like it, someone will write it, and it will be good. All I ask in return is that I don't have to pay for it later, if it goes viral.
Recently the driving laws of my home state and many others have changed, and the exact wordings differ greatly. In Nevada, the wording is such that I can answer my phone and talk on speakerphone, as long as I can do so in one button push. And before you say the word "blue-tooth" leme remind you how much battery power that takes, realize I use this thing constantly for business and can't afford a new device or devices. Plus, I only have one power outlet, and would have to charge my mp3 player (much more song storage than my phone, and no interruption from calls or lack of service out in the boonies) my phone and then a blue tooth headset. Talk about a distraction while driving!
Now, on to the idea in question. When the phone is in sleep mode and the phone rings, I would have to unlock the screen, answer the call, and push 'speakerphone', and this(according to the letter of the law) is illegal while driving in the great state of Nevada. After reading this I got to thinking (and that can sometimes lead to dangerous actions, so after putting my special thinking helmet on...) this is what I came up with.
The camera button doesn't have a function while the screen is off, at least not that I have found on my phone. Also, when receiving a call, the camera button does nothing. In fact it doesn't do anything on my phone unless I'm on the home screen.(and I changed that auto-run feature of the camera so I wasn't taking 15 pics a day by accident, now it only works when I'm IN camera) So, my thought is to tie the camera button in with answering a call directly into speakerphone, without unlocking the screen and pressing 2 buttons. This makes answering my phone while driving legal, and much, much safer. Instead of 3 actions, now I have only one, taking a third less of my focus off the road. Plus, I don't have to look around for a cop before answering an important call, or pull over to the side of a busy highway to avoid a ticket.
This seems like a no-brainer to me, I just don't know the first thing about coding or writing apps, other than I don't know jack about coding or writing apps! Wish I did, as I think this could be a very helpful app if done correctly. I'm a gear-head, so If you wana talk cars we could talk all day, but I only know smartphones by what I have read in the last few months. Granted, I am VERY interested... (See: Staying up all hours of the night reading about the subject and writing posts! LOL)
Leme know what ya'll think. I can take criticism, even insults, just don't call me stupid. I'm always coming up with hair-brained schemes, and every once in a while, this blind squirrel does find a good nut or two.

Dear amazing XDA android developers,
I need your help. You have an opportunity to help someone in need and at the same time do something fun and challenging.
But first a little backstory.
Over the last two years, my car has been broken into numerous times. I've had an old smartphone stolen(my treo 650 which I repurposed for gps nav), a stereo stolen, car chargers stolen. My car dash ripped open. I got another stereo from my grandma for christmas which was stolen a month later, even without the faceplate on it. I've also had my garage door beaten in(not to gain access, just to beat it, I suppose). I lock my car at night, but I also have clinically verifiable ADD, and I can never remember for absolutely sure every single night if I locked it - or if they're getting in some other way.
So you're probably wondering why I'm posting this on the Android hacking forum. I need your help catching the hoodlum who is doing this. I bought a new android phone, the thunderbolt, and it replaced my very aging Droid Eris.
What I want to do is activate the Eris on a second line for a month, and use a rom with specially cooked features to make sure it works flawlessly. I need a rom that can do a fake shutdown, where if you hold the power button and choose shutdown from the menu, it'll do a throbber or some other indicator and then shut off the screen, but continue to run. I plan on supergluing the battery case to the phone. I need the tracking apps to never quit from memory no matter what, and I need the GPS to be accurate and the phone to be stable. I plan on running multiple tracking apps(in case one fails). I have a 3500mah battery for the phone so I'm not terribly concerned with battery life. I need the indicator light blinking fairly often to attract attention. Since the Eris has that nice big white light under the trackball I thought that would help more. I also need to hide the tracking apps from the phone home launcher as well.
I'd leave this specially prepared phone on the dash of my car at night, and when it gets stolen(which I bet will take less than a month to happen), I will be able to call the police and find the neighborhood hoodlums and restore order. I've already talked with the police and they've said if I got them the GPS coordinates they can take action to retrieve the phone.
Can you help me with these features and fight crime in the process?
I wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post this in. I know there's a lot of Eris specifics, but I also know this could be a useful project for others with other phones as well who suffer from vandalism and regular thievery.
I will reward the forum with the story of what happens and the result.
I'm rather near sighted so unless I duct tape the alarm clock to my head I have no chance in hell to actually see the numbers displayed on it at night without contacts or glasses. I've been looking around for app that does one simple thing: tell me the time when i say "time" (or something similar).
My search so far has come up mostly short. I found an app that tells me the time when I shake, touch, or wave my hand over the device. There are also half a million bad Siri knockoffs that will tell me the time if I push a button. However what I really want is an app that monitors audio the entire night and doesn't need to be prodded in any way to notice me speaking to it.
There has to be something out there that can do this. I mean, the built in voice thing responds to "hi galaxy" which could in theory work if it would just understand when I ask it for the time. There are also sleep recorders and such apps that obviously don't mind monitoring audio all night long, as long as you plug it in so power isn't an issue.
Does anyone have any ideas for such an app?
EDIT: If I'm to be very feature-greedy I also wouldn't mind if it turned on the LED when I say "lights" or something like that, but I imagine that's more than just a little bit unlikly to exist
EDIT2: Forgot I was in a general part of the forum, so just to be clear, will be using this on a galaxy s ii or galaxy tab 7.0 plus
The device doesn't really matter, such app should run on any device.
I like the idea!
I will give it a shot after my exam on thursday, but no promises , already have some cool ideas .
You should be aware that this is not battery efficient at all and if your phone is not connected to a charger it might run empty during the night.

Of course, as I said that's what sleep talk monitors require too.
I did actually find something...on my iPad. There are a couple of apps like that on iOS. I ended up with one where you simply clap to hear the time. Hasn't been updated in ages but still works. There's another one that you actually say "time" to but I think you need to say its name to wake it up first, so didn't even try that one.
Would definitely prefer to have it on Android though, so would be awesome f you got something working
EDIT: decided to buy the other app for iOS just to make a video as a reference:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXgS0aW10v8
Seems that development simply stopped on that one. Not been updated in ages. Having to say "hello kei" every time is indeed annoying
Spent my first night with the clap activated clock on the iPad. Wow, this truly makes a world of difference to someone like me who's practically blind without glasses or contacts. Ended up waking up a few times during the night, especially close to the time to get up, so being able to get the time without fumbling around for glasses and actually waking up in the process literally made it easier to sleep too
some one said I should post this on a mainstream board, so it will help out others too, I am too lazy to edit the some things so please pretend that I am refering to JUST YOUR PHONE. This basically apply's to every ones phone. Even the iphone. so please ignore droid turbo and copy and paste your phone name. take everything with a grain of salt. I refuse to take any one seriously if you fail to see that you missed the point of my thread. here it comes (copy and paste lol desu).
So I pick up my Droid Trubo (only for the specs) and I noticed that Verizon is claiming that you can get a whole 48 hours off your phone with out having to charge your phone within those 48 hours. makes me giggle but the battery is a 3900mAh battery. Pretty sweet, but inevitably on day one release I have seen articles and posts of people claiming that they only get no less then 9-12 hours on there turbo before they have to charge..... (Not claiming I know all there is to phones) but I had a feeling that any one complaining about the battery on there phone probably (in fact i am 110% sure) that they have no idea what exactly takes up power usage on there phone. I charge my phone up to about 100 percent, I used it consistently watching you tube video's web browsing listening to music, all that jazz, you name it and I probably did it. After a whole 25 hours(in counting) my phone sat at a woping 67% battery charge. Verizon held up there part of the bargain and this is by no means them lieing to us. So I am going to start listing off on why your phone literally dies after only 5 hours.
1.Brightness: Thats rite folks, turning your brightness to the max is a very sexy way to speed up the process of killing your battery, I highly recommend that you simply set the brightness to automatic and you should be set. Brightness kills your battery, but this is not the only thing that you probably goofed in, lets read on.
1.Wallpaper: You know, I kinda don't consider this one to be much of a big deal, but it is true non the less(still kinda not that big of deal) but have LIVE wallpaper does consume much more power vs having just a normal wallpaper background.
3. Mother fu**ing gps/location : So I noticed that every one and there grandmother, turns on the GPS/location(well, more like you hit yes to turn it on and forgot about it sense) setting on there device for Google map, or maybe you want your friends to know where your making yourself look lost with selfie picks of Facebook or instagram. Now let me tell you having the gps setting to detect your location or use it on google maps KILLS YOUR BATTERY faster then you can say "How do i get to the control panel?". Generally on your average phone your looking at (if your lucky) a solid 4-6 hours before you have to charge your phone because you have this on all the time(and probably everything else I list aswell). The GPS tracking system is always on REGARDLESS if you are or not using google maps, facebook, instagram etc. I can imagine that with turbo you would only survive for a good 10 hours before you have to charge your phone again. Make sure you go into your phone setting and turn of gps location and only use it when you need it at that time.
Mobile and Wifi usage: Now, Of course this takes up power, but I always get a kick out of watching every one have there wifi AND there mobile data active at the same time. This is very effective for killing your phone sooner, rather then later. Dont get me wrong your phone is either going to use one or the other, but its still outputting power to keep a connection, VS having it actually turned off, and having it simply notify you that there is a connection available.
Now Maybe alot of you are like "this guy does not know what he's talking about I have this on all the time and I still only get 10 hours". If you are thinking this, I recommend you take the moment to stand up take 2 steps back and punch yourself in the stomach, when your able to breath come back and go through the steps in making sure that your phone does not have all these setting turn on at ones.
Ya, ultimately this is the bread and butter list that kills peoples battery's that I see all the time (dont play yourself, you know who you are) . So I guess I will go just a little more in-depth on how I get an easy 48 hours on the phone with no sweat.
Ultimately, when I am at my house, I keep my wifi data on, with my brightness set to auto. As far as Droids turbo goes, this will be easy peasy for your phone to get to the whole day, go ahead and watch some you-tube videos, hell take a bunch of pictures while your at it, (fun fact, your video recorder is pretty niffty for draining battery) I only turn my gps location on when I need to get from point A to Point B and always remember to turn it of after I am done using it.
I want to talk about 1 more technical thing before I Wrap this up, I notice that some people say "I checked my battery today and it says that this app took up 30% of my power! WTF? I disabled it and removed it). you guys mite want to pay better attention to the battery, for example, my phone lost about a good 5% after like 1-2 hours of you-tube or something, when I looked at the battery status rite from the get go, it told me that you tube took 70% of my power usage. but mind you, your phone is telling you it took up 70% of power in the 5% battery period. some people don't pay close attention to these details so when they go on there battery status at the end of the day they do back-flips for days on the fact that there app or (my favorite) screen took up so much power on there phones.
Ya my guide is not the best, just posting this out there to hopefully get this concept through to some people. I am just your average power user, with a nice phone, and a ton of trig homework to catch up on, feel free to ask me any question, I mite go and post this in the general/Q & A threads.
Just got done proof reading, If things are still terrible, I recommend you kill it with fire, and hyperventilate until your amazon prime order of frozen yogurt arrives at the back of your basement step.
UPDATE: Ok, just so I stop getting bombarded with these pointless reply's (who am I kidding some one is still gonna call me a dumbass am I rite?) this is what I expect for you guys to get out of this thread, I will use myself in this example).
ME : let's see so I turned off all my features on the phone (or for what ever reason some of you like to call it a dumb phone). Now everything is OFF.
- I am sitting down and I want to shoot a text or make a phone call to my friend. I do just that that and......OH SNAP! I don't need my mobile 4g lte to be turned on if all I am doing is sending/receiving text messages/phone calls. Sweet! BUT WAIT, I want to go on SPACE-BOOK AND want to know when people post comments on my selfies! Then I will simply keep my mobile data on 24/7(when I am at home switch to my wifi and turn off mobile) so I can retrieve those oh so important selfie updates! I know keeping mobile data on at all times will drain my batter faster then having it off, but for just posting comments on space-book, or doing web serfing that should be of no problem ESPECIALLY if you have the turbo. So flick the mobile data on if you want to know whats going on in your twitter or what have you. I don't twitter, space-book, instagram or any of that Personally, I only turn on mobile data when I need to web browse (I do heavy web browsing myself, but that wont be too much battery drain.). Thats just me. Pick your options and learn what takes up more power when you do it. Learn what you need to do to accomplish these goals through out the day because lets face it people, selfies make the world go round. I mean if you go to the gym and work out for 2 hours but did not take a selfie, then it does not count. every one know that! (to keep myself sain, you will notice I will constantly be mis pronouncing names and I will be using Selfies as a general term for "those people" that like to take pictures of everything. I have to point this out because some one will say "I dont just take selfies I take "insert stupid category here" with my phone! YES because I am sure what ever pictures you take is of that much different from selfies!")
2. Alrgiht! So I leave my mobile data on all the time go web serfing and I take selfies of myself looking lost in towns. No problem for the droid turbo! but you know what? I also want to watch a bunch of video's! whatching video's on your phone will of course drain the battery faster (stack that on with user number 1.) though it does take away more power from your phone its not that bad if the video is actually on your phone, what's that? you want to go to youtube and watch 720 or 1080p cat video's. Thats gonna cost more resources, your going to need your phone to output its data connection to start STREAMING 720 or 1080p cat video's! Thats pretty demanding for anyphone regardless. If you do it here and there through out the day, you will lose power faster, but if you stream 720p cat video's all day, then your turbo probably wont survive the 24 hour mark. (2 hours streaming cat videos and 2 girls one cup is not going to destroy your phone but it will require a nice chunk of your battery non the less).
3. HOLD ON NOW, I need people to know where I am at 24/7 so lets flick on that locations app! once again this will stack on to your demanding needs of power, 24/7 mobile data turn on with your 2 hours of streaming 720p cat video's and 2 girls 1 cup, with selfies (lets not forget your camera and video record do tend to take up power giving you those true HD pictures. Now you got your phone Twerking to constantly feed your location to your app. Then it costs even more power when you use it.
4. I also want max screen brightness and my Bluetooth (though bluetooth is not so bad, just depends how you use it) for my headphones....I also want to have high frequency mode turned on while im at it too so I can use gps!.....with a LIVE wallpaper!
Do you guys see where I am getting at with all this? you need to treat your phone like a car. you need to know what features take up how much power and how long you plan to keep them on. I am not telling you, to turn EVERYTHING OFF and boom 48 hours. I am telling you that your phone has a **** ton of power and its up to you to learn what apps and what features drain how much power and how fast and how long do you plann to use it? You may think its so small or it does not take that much power but the more you stack things on to your phone the more power its going to need. You need to think about it like if it was yourself. If I told you to walk for one mile you would totally (I hope) be fine doing it no sweat, but what If i told you to RUN for one mile your body is going to take way more energy to make you run at a descent pace vs walking. I really do hope (in my opinion) my fun explanation helps you guys understand the concept's of phone power usage. Over time if your like me and a few other power users I know, you will have absolutely no problems what so ever keeping your phone alive, because we piratically know when its going to die and when we will need to charge. comes with experience.
Final note: just remember, if you think this is stupid or all this is a waist of time, then I recommend punching yourself in the stomach and simply waiting for that amazon prime order of frozen yogurt to arrive at your door step. that's all I got to say, Im gonna go through and proof read this so it does not sound too dumb (i gotta get back to that trig homework). I need to emphasize though, if your gonna be naive and not see the point of my thread, just punch you self in the stomach and take a selfie saying you just got done working out, it works EVERY TIME, I promise!
ome one said I should post this on a mainstream board, so it will help out others too, I am too lazy to edit the some things so please pretend that I am refering to JUST YOUR PHONE.

Final note: just remember, if you think this is stupid or all this is a waist of time, then I recommend punching yourself in the stomach and simply waiting for that amazon prime order of frozen yogurt to arrive at your door step. that's all I got to say, Im gonna go through and proof read this so it does not sound too dumb (i gotta get back to that trig homework). I need to emphasize though, if your gonna be naive and not see the point of my thread, just punch you self in the stomach and take a selfie saying you just got done working out, it works EVERY TIME, I promise!
Thanks!

Your welcome
So I have a question. It's pretty serious for me. First I have to give an explanation and story.
Before I go any further, I know there may be a lot of opinions out there and "I told you so'ers" and lots of other folks but because of the seriousness of this situation to me, I would ask to please refrain from doing that here.
I have a custom Rom on my Samsung phone. The bootloader is unlocked of course otherwise I would not have been able to install the rom.
I will not say which rom just to make sure no misinformation is spread.
Anyway,
On her way home from work, I was already home, my girlfriend called me. She and I had a 4+ minute call and of course the rom (which I just got installed and working about 20 minutes before the call) had call record so I was able to listen to the call over and over.
Toward the end, just the last few seconds I hear an unidentified sound which later some odd hundred times listening I was able to identify as a male voice saying "I love you too" but it was very muffled and very difficult to make out.
Then we both say good bye and then I hear the same voice say "audios" clearly and with a certain attitude. The comments were smart ass like in nature and were direct responses to my words.
My girlfriend has an iPhone connected to her car stereo. She was driving down the road.
Now, either my girlfriend is being unethical and dishonest with me and someone else was in the car or someone somehow hacked our phone call.
It was not one of those mixed call situations where you accidently hear someone else's call for a second, I'm not even sure they happen anymore. It used to be rare but did occur back in the early 2000s. It was direct interaction with our call.
I called my carrier to see if they could identify any weird anomalies on their end and they said there is no indication of anything unusual like multiple Sims or multiple towers being connected to the call and that I should call the fraud department which I'm sure won't help really anyway.
So I ask. In light of the entire destruction of a decade of our lives spent together, is it possible for someone to interact with our call like that? Is it possible someone hacked my phone, or something else and was capable of interacting with our call?
I certainly do indeed hope it's possible so I can go home but I fear it is very very very unlikely or impossible.
Thank you.
